How tall is Yosemite Falls in Yosemite National Park from top to base?

Yosemite Falls drops 2,425 feet from the top of its upper fall to the base of its lower fall.

Located in Yosemite Valley, the waterfall is the tallest in Yosemite National Park and one of North America’s best-known waterfalls. It consists of three main sections: Upper Yosemite Fall, the middle cascades, and Lower Yosemite Fall.

The upper section alone accounts for a 1,430-foot plunge, but the total height includes all sections down to the valley floor. Water flow is usually strongest in late spring, when snowmelt feeds Yosemite Creek.

Visitors sometimes quote the height of the upper fall rather than the complete waterfall. The canonical total for Yosemite Falls is 2,425 feet, measured from the top of the upper fall to the base of the lower fall.
