Wapama Falls is the larger of two waterfalls located on Falls Creek on the northern wall of Hetch Hetchy Valley below Hetch Hetchy Dome, in Yosemite National Park.
The falls consist of two primary drops angled roughly 60 degrees to each other, and a broad cascade at its base.
These cascades cannot be seen in their entirety from the trail or dam, due to topography; such a view is seen from across the valley high on Kolana Rock.
Finally, the bottom drop, seen from the dam and intimately from the trail, is one of about 200 feet down an escarpment that is not vertical, but in high water the water shoots outward to clear this descent.
Visitors can reach Wapama Falls by hiking 2.5 miles (4.0 km) up Hetch Hetchy Reservoir Trail from O'Shaughnessy Dam.
