Cascade Creek Falls, lesser known waterfall in Yosemite Valley

This is Cascade Creek Falls in Yosemite Valley. It's a lesser known waterfall that has a stop for it not far into the park from the Arch Rock Entrance, which is the western entrance to the park coming in along Highway 140 from Mariposa. This view was not from that highway, however. This view involves driving toward Highway 41 and going through the famous tunnel. And the lower end of the tunnel, many people stop to look at the view of Yosemite Valley and take pictures. There's no denying the view is wonderful from that perspective. But this is one Rick discovered by going above the tunnel to a large pullout area along the road and climbing over the stone fence found there. After traveling down the slope for some distance, one can look down on Cascade Creek Falls from above and see the creek above and below the falls. The creek leading to the falls can't be seen from the turnoff along Highway 140. So, the view from above is more inclusive.

Remember, it's not just a picture, it's a story!
