We did this on our last day at Yosemite. Gorgeous and well maintained. The ranger who greeted us was kind and knowledgeable.
My son and I hike a lot. So the walk there wasn’t particularly challenging. It was April, warm outside, we carry water and more supplies than we could reasonably need. Wear hiking boots or at least sturdy shoes. We always see people setting out in...More
Lovely views. The waterfall was still in good flow despite it being the end of summer. Well worth the stop.

The Wapama Falls trail starts from the O'Shaughnessy Dam and is 5 mi/8 km roundtrip. The trail is rated moderate (should be rated easy). The trail condition is very good - either fine gravel or smooth granite. There is a small downhill portion at Wapama...More
