The last several posts addressed some of the more robust and thus impressive waterfalls at Yosemite National Park and hikes that let visitors get up close to nature’s gushing faucets.
When it comes to natural beauty, however, power isn’t necessarily the main determinant. Cascade Falls, for example, is a series of waterfalls that meander and zig-zag down a mountain forming very pretty shaped spills. Some are delta shaped while others find their own abstract expression as they roll between and over the creek’s boulders.
The result is a beautiful array of colors, sounds and visual displays. The picture above was taken from the bridge that passes over the falls separating the upper region from the more powerful lower region below.
There is an associated hike with Cascade Falls, but a stop along the road and a visit to each side will also offer a worthy view of the rushing waters.
