Groveland, California

4.5

There is a easy walkway to get down to the pool itself, and trails to climb to the top to slide or jump off the rocks.

Wapama Falls

Groveland, California

4.71 mi / 623 ft gain

Hetch Hetchy has a completely different character than other areas of Yosemite National Park, and the hike to Wapama Falls is an excellent way to explore this relatively remote section of the park.

The hike is relatively easy as the trail wanders around the northern shore...
