The Upper Falls plunge over 1,300 feet releasing huge amounts of spray, before cascading to the Lower Falls where a final 320 feet brings the flow to the valley floor. A short trail leads to the base of the falls. Yosemite Valley's tallest single waterfall is one fo the more difficult ones to see. You can spot it from neat the base of El Capitain by looking across the valley. Glacier Point and Geology Point are located close to eachother to the South of the Valley and offer magnificent birds-eye views of all the major features in Yosemite Valley.
Climbers make multi-day ascents camping out on the rock face.
You'll need binoculars to spot them by day - their torches give them away at night. North Dome towers above to 3,500ft above the valley floor. A number of access point offer a chance to watch the waters. Towards the village and visitor center rafts and tubes can be rented for a leisurely float.
