Locale: Tuolumne County
“Quaking Aspen Falls”
Quaking Aspen Falls is a name I made up for a roadside waterfall on the Tioga Road near a sign keyed to Quaking Aspens according to the Yosemite Road Guide…
“Cathedral Lake Falls”
Cathedral Lake Falls is a name I made up for this easy-to-miss waterfall on the Tioga Road just before the Pywiack Dome. It doesn’t look like it’s accessible by normal means…
California Falls
California Falls is one of the cascades on the Tuolumne River downstream of Glen Aulin High Sierra Camp en route to Waterwheel Falls in Yosemite National Park.
LeConte Falls
LeConte Falls is a long series of cascades on the Tuolumne River often mistaken for Waterwheel Falls because it has waterwheels on its steepest section.
Waterwheel Falls
Waterwheel Falls is a sloping cascade on the Tuolumne River with a giant waterwheel that is often mistaken with LeConte Falls a short distance upstream.
“Mattie Falls”
Mattie Falls is another waterfall that I unofficially named. Ordinarly, I’d disregard unknown and unnamed falls like this, but if it floods the Waterwheel Falls Trail it deserves attention…
Tuolumne Falls
Tuolumne Falls is the first major waterfall on the Tuolumne River that we encountered along the epic Waterwheel Falls hike near Glen Aulin Camp in Yosemite.
White Cascade (Glen Aulin Falls)
The White Cascade (or Glen Aulin Falls) is a 50ft waterfall on the Tuolumne River next to the Glen Aulin High Sierra Camp in the Yosemite backcountry.
“Tilltill Creek Falls”
Tilltill Creek Falls is a name I made up for this welcoming waterfall on Tilltill Creek. After a long time since the last waterfall seen, it is a welcome sight for sore eyes…
Rancheria Falls
Rancheria Falls is a series of cascades with spots to take a dip for cooling off. It may be the only such falls in Yosemite’s hidden corner at Hetch Hetchy.
Carlon Falls
Carlon Falls is a tapered 35ft waterfall that flowed year-round, which makes it a nice place for a swim or a dip when the South Fork Tuolumne River is calm.
Lundy Canyon Waterfalls
The Lundy Canyon Waterfalls page is my homage to the myriad of waterfalls and wildflowers that we’ve seen in the scenic Lundy Canyon on an epic 6-mile hike.
Tueeulala Fall
Tueeulala Fall (when it’s flowing) may be the first waterfall you notice as you approach the parking area for Hetch Hetchy plunging alongside Wapama Falls.
Wapama Falls
Wapama Falls is the feature waterfall of the Hetch Hetchy area with its consistently strong flow, reported height of 1341ft, and nearby granite formations.
Unnamed Waterfalls in Hetch Hetchy
There are a few unnamed waterfalls in Hetch Hetchy I thought might be interesting to point out. These falls have been there each time I have visited so they certainly last longer…
