Introduction

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.
