Description

Nevada Falls is a 594-foot high waterfall on the Merced River located below the granite dome, Liberty Cap, at the west end of Little Yosemite Valley. The waterfall is widely known for its 'bent' shape, as the water free-falls for roughly the first third of its length to a steep slick-rock slope. The mid-fall impact of the water on the cliff face creates a turbulent, whitewater appearance and produces a great deal of mist which covers a wide radius, which led to its current name.
