With the previous posts, we showed water from Vernal Fall rolling down the mountain toward the valley. The photographs showed only one example, but water may also be coming from other such depressions leading from the beginning of the fall’s dropoff.

As the waters roll down the mountain, they come together as they reach the Merced River and create the torrent shown above. I can attest that this water was flowing quickly and was very forceful.

The rushing water becomes so fierce at times that they have a very jarring warning sign placed near this spot which you can read about in a previous post by clicking HERE.
