What to expect

Lower Yosemite Falls Trail is a 1.2-mile loop trail that offers stunning views of Yosemite Falls, the tallest waterfall in North America. The trail is easy and paved, making it accessible for families with strollers or wheelchairs. The trail takes you to the base of the lower fall, where you can get sprayed with water in the spring and early summer. The area is beautiful to visit anytime, but the best time to see the waterfall is in the spring when the water is at its peak. The trail is open year-round, but the waterfall is often dry from late July or August through October. The trail is suitable for families with children, and there are exhibits along the way that provide information about the natural and cultural history of the area
