Chilnualna Fall

Mariposa County, CA

Approximate location — plotted from published sources, not a site visit, and not a guarantee of access.

Chilnualna Fall is a chain of granite cascades above Wawona in southern Yosemite, reached by a steep 8.2-mile round-trip trail that gains about 2,400 feet. The first drop is only a quarter-mile from the trailhead; the full hike climbs past several falls to a high granite shelf. Flow peaks in May, and the trail is far quieter than Yosemite Valley waterfall walks.
