Hiking
This is what the Sierra Nevada are famous for. The falls roll over granite rocks and form small pools that are a haven for wildlife and humans alike. Be careful on the wet rocks though as they can be extremely slippery and granite is very unforgiving to those who fall on it.

More hills than expected. Poles suggested.

Hiking
NIce trail right outside the western Yosemite gate and on the way to Hetch Hetchy. Nice walk along creak, then a steep incline, but rest of trail easy. Multiple gentle falls along big rocks you can sit on. Beautiful in fall with colored trees. Note that you must pay to park $10 and put a tag on windshield. Cars were ticketed.
