"The Upper Yosemite Falls hike is an incredible hike that I've done multiple times both in summer and winter. Yosemite Falls is the tallest waterfall in the continental US, dropping 2,425 feet to the bottom of the valley from the top.
This hike consists of three sections: upper falls, middle cascade, and lower falls. If you're strapped for time, you could make this hike short and only go to lower falls or middle cascade, but if you have the time I recommend going all the way to Upper Falls where you'll be rewarded with stunning views of Half Dome, Sentinel Dome, and the valley.
This hike is out-and-back and about 8 miles, with 3,000 feet of elevation gain. It starts near the famous Camp 4 and quickly ascends along multiple switchbacks through the trees. "
