Nevada mountains of California, is recognized as the highest waterfall in North America and the world’s fifth tallest.

Mirror Lake trail is the most prominent trail in Yosemite National Park. Late spring is the ideal time to go to this place as there will be plenty of water in Mirror Lake. Mirror Lake is the little spot along Tenaya Creek right underneath the face of Half Dome.

Mariposa Grove is located towards the southern region of Yosemite National Park. It features some of the tallest Giant Sequoia Trees in the world, some reaching 285 feet tall. The Fallen Giant is one of the many wonders in Mariposa Grove and probably the most sought after tree within the National Park. Standing tall amidst the Mariposa Grove is the Grizzly Giant, considered the oldest living tree in Yosemite National Park.

Sentinel Dome is much taller than Glacier Point and from here you get a 360-degree panoramic view of all the surrounding areas that includes Yosemite Valley, Half Dome, and the Clark Ranges to the south. This summit is most famous for the lone Jeffrey pine tree that has since been struck by lightning.

The Merced River - that starts at more than 11,000 feet elevation, in the high Sierra Nevada mountain range and runs through Yosemite National Park – can cast a spell. Bridalveil Falls is about 620 feet (188 m) tall and one of the most renowned waterfalls in Yosemite.

Do not fail to visit the Sequoia Grove at the South Entrance of the park. You and your family members can hike a little bit through the Sequoia Grove and lose yourselves amidst the giant trees.

What can be more inspiring than the Tuolumne Meadows - the vast expanse of alpine grass and granite peaks in the heart of the Yosemite High Country along the Tioga Road. As you stroll inside the mix of grass, trees, and granite, you will find peaks rising in the distance such as Cathedral Peak, Unicorn Peak, Fairview Dome, and Lembert Dome among others. You can also follow the Tuolumne River towards its multiple waterfalls and cascades.
