Yosemite Falls in Winter

I don't usually vacation in Winter, but a trip to Yosemite National Park proved to be just amazing. The views, the rock, the water, the snow, and the cold air were like nothing I had seen or felt.

Yosemite Falls is the highest measured water in North America and is located in the Sierra Nevada of California. It is also one of the world's tallest, and is made up of three separate falls: Upper Yosemite Fall (1430 feet), the Middle Cascades (675 feet), and Lower Yosemite Fall (320). In the picture below, you can see the upper fall and the lower fall.

We were able to hike to the lower fall. The path to the upper fall was closed for winter.  My  husband and I on the path leading to the lower fall. Do I look cold? I was freezing. I have four layers of clothing on under that red jacket.

The walk to the lower fall was fairy easy but very icy.

Even with the cold air and the icy path, seeing the water crashing down on the rocks was so rewarding. The rock is solid granite and looks very slick.

This shot is as close as we could get to the lower fall. That my husband, me, son-in-law, and grandson in the picture, our daughter is taking the picture.

Once last view of the lower fall in Yosemite.

The lower fall is located near the Yosemite Lodge in Yosemite Valley. Thanks for stopping by to see Yosemite Falls in Winter - Judy.
