A multi-cascade waterfall most Yosemite visitors never reach, on the Chilnualna Falls Trail in Wawona. 8.4 miles, 2,500 feet, away from the valley crowds.

As you hike you’ll probably hear, and eventually see, the lower falls of Chilnualna Creek.
Look for the little uphill and trail sign. The actual trail starts right after that. There’s a metal Yosemite-style trail sign at the start.
There’s a trail sign at the end of the parking lot. Walk up the paved road for a short distance.
The bad news is that you climb all the way to the falls. The good news is that, compared to other Yosemite hikes, the hike is not too steep.
This reverse-view of the hike shows how the trail climbs up from Wawona to the falls. The granite dome on the left is the Wawona Dome which you’ll see on the hike.
There is parking along the side of the road.
