At the Lower Falls, water descends 320ft; almost twice the drop of Niagara Falls. It is the easiest section to access, with only a short walk from the Yosemite Lodge to the base of the falls required. If visiting in spring, then be aware that the viewing area will receive a lot of spray from the falls. However, by the middle of summer, the spray is replaced by calm, cool air and possibly a little mist. Taken @Yosemite, California
