White Cascade
The White Cascade is the second major waterfall along the Tuolumne River. Its main tier falls roughly 50ft even though it's really part of the continuous cascading white water that started well upstream before Tuolumne Falls (which itself is about a quarter-mile further uphill). For backpackers spending the night at the adjacent Glen Aulin High Sierra Camp, it's a great way to set up camp and call it a day relaxing by the shores of the waterfall's plunge pool. You might also hear this waterfall called Glen Aulin Falls because of its proximity to the High Sierra Camp of the same name. However, like I said in the Tuolumne Falls page, I think of the Glen Aulin Falls as the entire ensemble of white water that started way upstream and ends around the base of this waterfall (or even further downstream if you count the sloping cascade below the footbridges). Tell us about your experience with this waterfall.
