White Cascade
The White Cascade is the second major waterfall along the Tuolumne River. We thought this campsite was well situated as it was a perfect spot to refill on water at the waterfall's plunge pool as well as relaxing by its shores. The only inconvenience was that there was a bear that visited this camping area frequently looking for a freebie. I'm guessing it already had a taste of high energy human food and didn't want to go back to nuts, plants, and insects.
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).
