Upper Yosemite Fall Cascading Down Granite Cliff Face
Saturday, December 27th, 2025 at 9:09:02 PM · 2025/Yosemite Snow
A spectacular waterfall cascades down a massive vertical granite cliff face, creating a misty plume as it falls. The rock wall shows dramatic vertical fractures and patterns characteristic of glacially carved granite, with patches of snow and ice visible in the crevices. The waterfall appears somewhat reduced in flow, typical of winter or late season conditions, yet still creates an impressive display as it free-falls hundreds of feet. The columnar jointing and exfoliation features in the surrounding rock walls frame the waterfall beautifully, emphasizing the immense scale of this natural feature.
