Yosemite National Park Cascade Creek Fall off Big Oak Flat Road into Yosemite Valley

Cascade Creek Fall runs underneath Big Oak flat Road entrance of Yosemite Valley just above the Merced River. Tamarack creek joins just below the bridge also. Spring 2016 the Water was Booming.
A great stop before heading into the valley with a small turn out just past the tunnel which welcomes visitors to view the cascades from the bridge.
Experience the peaceful sounds of a majestic waterfall cascading over rocks, surrounded by lush greenery. This video captures the dynamic movement of the running water sound, offering a moment of calm and relaxation. Let the soothing nature sounds and relaxing water sounds transport you to a serene natural environment.
