California Falls
California Falls is the next major ensemble of waterfalls you'll see beyond the Glen Aulin High Sierra Camp. There is a spur trail (roughly 1.5 miles below the High Sierra Camp) leading to its most photogenic spot. Outside of this spot, it's basically a series of cascades tumbling one after another. Basically this waterfall and LeConte Falls are the reasons why I came up with this notion of "waterfall ensembles," where an ensemble of cascades and waterfalls begins and ends where a long series of white water begins and ends (i.e. they're separated by areas where the Tuolumne River is calm). Anyways, waterfall-geek-talk aside, this waterfall is merely a warm up to the bigger and better cascades and waterfalls just further down the trail. Tell us about your experience with this waterfall.
