Yosemite Falls - Yosemite National Park

California travel expert Veronica Hill of http://www.CaliforniaTravelExpert.com offers a guide to Yosemite Falls in Yosemite National Park.

Named "Cholock" by the native Ahwahneechee Indians, Yosemite Falls have three tiers. The Yosemite Falls height is a total of 739 meters from top to bottom. They are the tallest waterfalls in North America, according to official measurements, though that title is somewhat under dispute.

To reach Upper Yosemite Falls, you can hike 3 1/2 miles from the Yosemite Falls trail at Camp 4. Lower Yosemite Falls are easily reached on a short paved trail near the Lodge at Yosemite Falls. This short Yosemite Falls hike is roughly a mile, round trip.

Some interesting Yosemite Falls facts - The natives believed that evil spirits called Poloti lived in the plunge pool at the base of the falls.

Formed by Yosemite Creek, the Falls often dry up by late summer, so it's best to view them in full force during the spring.

@Ravall0 Will you be in Northern or Southern California? I'm not sure what European tourists usually seek out, but if you let me know, then I can tell you what is missing, or if it's worth it. :)

@CaliforniaTravelTips It will be the first time I go to California, for about 3 weeks with my family. Are there any highlights most european tourists don't know of? :)
