Discover the rugged beauty of Chilnualna Falls amid Yosemite's wild.























This 8 mile hike will test your endurance as you climb over 2,400 vertical feet but the reward is well worth the effort. In a lesser travelled part of the Yosemite Valley National Park, Chilnualna Falls is composed of a system of cascades set against a backdrop of Wawona. The peak runoff season in the spring and early summer is the best time to make the hike as the cascading waters roar alongside you.
The prime time to visit Chilnualna Falls is during spring and early summer when the water flow is at its fullest, painting a spectacular scene. However, be mindful of the summer heat and always come prepared. Winter can be harsh, and the trail may be less accessible due to snow.
