Waterfalls of the Yosemite High Country
Most of the waterfalls found in the High Country are along the Tuolumne River. The river meanders through the vast Tuolumne Meadows on its way to the rugged Grand Canyon of the Tuolumne River. Ultimately, it makes its way to Hetch Hetchy Valley, but you needn't go that far from Tuolumne Meadows to see its endless series of cascades and waterfalls. Among the Tuolumne River's gems are Tuolumne Falls, the White Cascade, and the strangely spectacular Waterwheel Falls. In addition to the Tuolumne River drainage, I've also included other waterfalls you're likely to encounter along the Tioga Road, including those in the rugged Lee Vining Canyon Waterfalls just east of Tioga Pass - the highest automobile pass in California at 9945ft.
