At 1,430 feet, Yosemite Falls is one of the world’s highest waterfalls and the highest in Yosemite National Park. It is located in the Sierra Nevada in California. Together with the lower falls, it creates a massive 2,425-foot fall. To reach the falls, take a trail from the bottom of the valley. Lower Yosemite Falls can be easily reached since it is close to the Yosemite Lodge in Yosemite Valley. To reach the top of the Upper Yosemite Fall, you will have to hike a steep 3.5-mile strenuous and very popular trail that starts close to Camp 4. There are several trails to the upper falls from the Tioga Road going north.
