Illilouette Fall (Mariposa)

Hill Stations Tours >> Waterfalls • Illilouette Fall (Mariposa)

Illilouette Fall is a 370 foot (112 m) waterfall in Yosemite National Park. It is located in a small side canyon directly across from Vernal Falls, and is visible from the trail to Vernal and Nevada Falls. The best vantage point is from the Panorama Trail as it descends from Glacier Point. Another view is from the Sierra Point Trail, abandoned now. Sierra Point is directly across the canyon from the Fall.

This is easily the least appreciated major fall in the valley, largely because it is the only one not visible from any road. Many people glimpse Illilouette Falls from far away, high up in a side canyon, as they labor up the trail to the Vernal Falls bridge.
