Looking up at the two tiers of the iconic Yosemite Falls from valley floor in Yosemite National Park. Yosemite National Park has many waterfalls, but the 2,245-foot Yosemite Falls is world renown. The iconic Yosemite Falls consists of a 1,430-foot Upper Yosemite Fall, the 675-foot middle cascades, and the 320-foot Lower Yosemite Fall. These falls can be seen from many near and distant vantage points in Yosemite Valley as well.
