Yosemite Falls, also known as the Yosemite Valley Falls, is one of the highest waterfalls in the world and has water flowing all year round. It has a total drop of 720 meters and is the highest waterfall in North America, divided into three sections: the upper, middle, and lower falls. Visitors can enjoy the breathtaking sight of "dropping straight down two thousand feet" in Yosemite Valley and Glacier Point. In May, when the snow melts, the water flow is the greatest; however, from August to October in summer and fall, the waterfall may dry up and visitors may not be able to enjoy the magnificent scenery. Near Yosemite Falls, visitors can also see another equally spectacular waterfall - Bridal Veil Falls, which is also a must-see attraction.
McVeigh Falls
At the Big Sur coast, the McWay Falls took its final bow atop an 80-foot cliff, leaping into the beach below to create a rare "tidefall". Although the waterfall and beach are off-limits, the breathtaking scenery can still be seen at Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park, rightfully earning its place as a treasure of the California Highway 1.
McArthur–Burney Falls Memorial State Park
Compared to Yosemite Falls, Burney Falls may only be 129 feet high, but it is still spectacular. Even in the dry summer months, it flows with over 100 million gallons of water per day. Burney Falls is the centerpiece of McArthur-Burney Falls State Park, which is not only a great place to see the falls but also a popular camping and hiking spot in the surrounding forests.
Alamir Falls
To catch a glimpse of Al Amir waterfall is not an easy feat. You need to embark on a 13-mile hiking adventure to the Wildcat Beach at Point Reyes National Park, where you can witness the waterfall cascading down a 30-foot-high coastal cliff. The waterfall flows all year round, and it is particularly spectacular in winter and spring. So pack your bags and water supply and spend a night at Wildcat Beach for an ultimate life enjoyment!
Rainbow Falls, located west of Hilo, is famous for the beautiful rainbow created by sunlight reflecting on the mist of its cascading water. With a height of 24.4 meters, the waterfall falls into a clear pool below. The rising mist is graceful and airy, like a soft veil, creating a stunning rainbow picture with the sunlight. Rainbow Falls never dries up, with a continuous flow of water that eventually merges into Hawaii's longest river, the Wailuku River.
Darwin Falls
The Darwin Falls in Death Valley is definitely a rare landscape in the desert. It's hard to imagine, in a dry and withered land, a clear and flowing waterfall all year round. It deserves our respect.
Finn falls
The Vernal Fall is located in Yosemite National Park. It is so small that it looks more like a rushing stream and is often overlooked by people. However, it is not difficult to discover her. Her beauty can be seen in the eastern source of the Merced River.
