Illilouette Falls

Illilouette Falls is a 381-foot (116 m) waterfall in Yosemite National Park that is located on the Illilouette Creek branch of the Merced River. It is situated across from Vernal Falls in a narrow canyon that penetrates Yosemite Valley's south wall. The name of the waterfall has also been lost over time along with its meaning.

The falls are clearly visible to the south from both the John Muir Trail and the Mist Trail. However, during low-flow months, the water level can disappear completely from this angle. And the best vantage point to view the falls is from the Panorama Trail as it descends from Glacier Point. Moreover, because the narrow canyon is full of rocks and there are many rapids in the rainy season, there is no road leading to the foot of the falls. Although not recommended, you can still go to the foot of the falls in the months with low water flow.

Although not quite as visually striking as the others and difficult to see from above, Illilouette Falls is still named one of the five largest waterfalls of Yosemite Valley. Illilouette Fall is a really great waterfall for anyone visiting Glacier Point and looking for something to relax in. Regardless of the mixed opinions of many, the waterfall is still one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Yosemite, California.

To conclude, Illilouette Falls:

• A 381-foot (116 m) waterfall located in Yosemite National Park, opposite Vernal Falls.
• The falls are clearly visible to the south from both the John Muir Trail and the Fog and Panorama Trail.
• A really great waterfall for anyone visiting Glacier Point and looking for something to relax.
