Yosemite Falls ends at the base of the waterfall in a large, rocky plunge pool known as the Yosemite Creek. The falls drop a total of 2,425 feet (739 meters), making it one of the tallest waterfalls in North America. The water from the falls ultimately flows into the Merced River, which runs through Yosemite Valley. During the dry season, the flow diminishes significantly, sometimes resulting in a dry fall.
