Rare Yosemite waterfall taller than Empire State Building is ‘raging’
The seasonal waterfalls at Yosemite National Park are in spectacular full force, with one “secret waterfall” taller than an iconic New York City skyscraper almost at peak flow. … The 2,400-foot falls ran year-round last season, but they’re not expected to do so again this year. Last winter’s record Sierra Nevada snow helped keep them from going dry, something that had happened only once before in the previous decade. … While still impressive, this season’s ephemeral water show doesn’t pack quite the punch it did a year ago at this time, when 10 ephemeral waterfalls cascaded throughout the park. Waterfalls throughout Yosemite are only getting snowmelt from a “surprisingly average” Sierra winter, according to NASA.
