A scenic picture taken of Yosemite Falls at Yosemite National Park located in California. Yosemite Falls is the world's 5th tallest waterfall, but North America's largest and most popular waterfall in Yosemite's National Park. This 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.
