Closeup of Upper Yosemite Falls

Upper Yosemite Falls cascades down a sheer granite cliff, with mist rising from the base and evergreen trees framing the scene.

Yosemite Falls in late spring is always a spectacle, the water thundering down the cliff and kicking up a ground-level fog that soaks everything. The granite is dark and wet near the base of the falls.
