ILLILOUETTE FALL
 
Location: Yosemite National Park, Panorama Trail
from Glacier Point or Happy Isles (Day Trip)
Access & Difficulty: Hike-in 4.0 miles RT/Moderate
from Glacier Point; or Hike-in 20 miles RT/Strenous
from Happy Isles. If Glacier Road is open its an nice
walk from Glacier Point to this beautiful fall. I have
visited this fall in mid-May, Glacier Road was closed
so i hiked up from Happy Isles to Glacier Point and
back (total of 20 miles, still 2-3 feet of snow on
Glacier Point in mid-May !) It was a full day hike, but
ALONE at Glacier Point - can you imagine that !
Best Season: May to October
Height of Fall: 121 meter (370 foot)
Yudschins Advice: Be careful at the overlook as
you are in front of a vertical wall; Better pictures at
the afternoon (when the sun is in the back)
Yudschins Rating: One of my favourites in Yosemite,
you hear the fall... but you see the whole fall only if you
stand close to the canyon rim. Not to be missed.
