Waterwheel Falls 2010

Brent, Gilann and myself did the Waterwheel Falls hike...18 miles roundtrip.
This is the first of many waterfalls

Brent sussing out what the snowmelt has brought us.


One of the waterfalls before the grand finale...

Big Granite


The river looked like an infinity pool, just on the other side of this was a huge waterfall...would have sucked if you were on a raft and deaf!


Finally Waterwheel Falls.  Rocks or something huge creates this effect, thus the name...


Massive water!

Yosemite Search & Rescue in action (YOSAR).  This guy (in the black helmet) had an IV in his hand and got a free ride out on a mule.

  2. there is one slide you can go down, but when the water is a little less. Haven't been there yet. This is all in the entrance to Yosemite, only 1 hour away!
