Yosemite Falls & Wood Railing Photo

A scenic picture taken of Yosemite Falls in the distance with a wood railing overlooking some water in the foreground. Yosemite Falls is located in Yosemite National Park which is located in east-central California and lies 105 miles north of Fresno, 195 miles east of San Francisco, 313 miles north of Los Angeles and 350 miles northwest of Las Vegas. The Yosemite waterfall is actually composed of three falls: Upper, Middle Cascades, and the Lower fall. Together they have a combined height of 2,425 feet which is more than 9 times the height of Niagara Falls. Perhaps the easiest place to view the falls is the Yosemite Falls Parking Area across from Yosemite Lodge.
