The Best Waterfalls To See When Snow Melts in Spring

Central California's Yosemite National Park contains several of the country's prettiest — and most powerful — waterfalls.

These include Bridalveil, Vernal, and Sentinel Falls, to name a few, but the most glorious of the bunch is undoubtedly the park's namesake Yosemite Falls. This Californian crown jewel features a drop of 2,425 feet, making it one of the tallest waterfalls in America. The falls emanate from Yosemite Creek, which is fed entirely by snowmelt. This means the best time of year to see Yosemite Falls is as snow begins to melt in May, though the increased runoff sometimes continues into June. At its peak, up to 2,400 gallons of water gush over the upper edge of the falls every second.
