Nature Spot

¶ … Yosemite Falls gives a brief description of the beautiful Yosemite Falls located in California. This paper also outlines the essential features of the falls and highlights its main characteristics. Yosemite Falls Mother Nature has blessed its creatures with beautiful sites and scenarios, which constantly remind us that this world indeed is a magnificent palace for all its living beings. Our world comprises of more than the seven wonders and one such wonder is the Yosemite Falls. The Yosemite Falls are the seventh highest falls in the world.

It is a natural wonder that defies description. It offers an unavoidable closeness to the natural elements. The towering column of spray with its enigmatic sights and sounds indeed tranquilize its viewers. Hence, the Yosemite Falls in California are a magnificent nature spot gifted by the milieu. The Yosemite Fall is situated at an elevation of 2,425 feet and is the tallest free falling waterfall in the world and the tallest in North America. The Yosemite Fall can be divided into two portions, namely the upper falls and the lower falls.

Upper Yosemite Fall alone is a whopping 1,430 feet of plunging water. It leaps off the canyon rim, gathers force in the 675-foot middle cascades section, then hits a ledge and forms Lower Yosemite Fall, which catapults another 320 feet. The hike to the top of the upper fall is strenuous, climbing 2,700 feet over 3.6 miles one way (Anne Marie Brown, Yosemite Falls, Yosemite National Park). The Yosemite Falls presents a beautiful sight to its viewers all around the year but it is most attractive during late spring, when the snow is melting.

Tourists of the Yosemite Falls are very much struck by its dazzling beauty. The water from the great fall falls into the Merced River in such a way that it sprays its water down towards the earth in a consecution of pulses. As the spray of water catches sunlight it forms a beautiful rainbow for its viewers to see. Amy McConnell after visited the falls commented that, With skiing, hiking, fireside retreats -- and no crowds -- Yosemite glows when it snows.

Maybe it's the stark beauty of snowcapped granite towering against a slate gray sky. Or the image of the Ahwahnee hotel, serene in an empty meadow, so quiet you can almost hear plumes of smoke rising from its chimneys. Or the ephemeral artistry of pine marten tracks imprinted in newly fallen snow (Yosemite In Winter). The Yosemite Falls are connected to the cross-country trails via a hiking trail. Travelling west to this route leads the tourists to the Lower falls.

After traveling for about half a mile the route climbs steeply through thick pine woodland. Only after travelling a 1000 feet, the elevation becomes more leveled and contravene the cliff facing eastwards in the direction of Yosemite creek. From there hence, the view becomes much clear and allows the tourists to view the impressive sights of the valley. Travelling a bit further allows the tourists to view the Upper Falls. Most of the tourists travel as far as the base of the Upper Falls. The path beyond this.
