Yosemite has boundless natural wonders to experience, but the waterfalls simply can’t be missed on a trip to this National Park. Yosemite Falls is the largest of the group, stretching 2,425 feet high.

Aside from being the tallest waterfall in Yosemite National Park, Yosemite Falls is one of the tallest waterfalls in the world. Consisting of three separate falls, you can spot the waterfall from various places around Yosemite Valley.
