Yosemite Waterfalls and Lakes

Yosemite National Park's diverse hydrology ranges from the 2,425-foot Yosemite Falls to the serene alpine waters of Tenaya Lake. This collection includes the Merced River's Mist Trail highlights like Nevada Fall, the seasonal 'firefall' phenomenon at Horsetail Fall, and the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir. These sites showcase glacially carved granite basins, high-altitude cascades, and essential water systems that define the Sierra Nevada landscape.
