Lehamite Falls, Tiered waterfall in Yosemite National Park, United States

Lehamite Falls is a tiered waterfall in Yosemite Valley that cascades down the granite cliffs of the Sierra Nevada. The water flows through narrow channels and creates multiple steps before forming a distinctive shape at the base.

Lehamite Falls is one of the few features in Yosemite National Park that has kept its original Ahwaneechee name; "Lehamite" is a native word for "arrowwood." The falls appear only in early spring or after heavy rain, which kept them little known and rarely noted by early park visitors.

The name Lehamite comes from Native American language and refers to a plant that once grew in Indian Canyon. The naming shows the deep connection between the land and the peoples who lived here for generations.

Lehamite Falls shows water only in early spring or after heavy rain, so time a visit to those windows. It drops 1,180 feet (360 m) through Indian Canyon, the cleft in the valley's north wall just right of Yosemite Falls, and is seen from above Yosemite Village.

Lehamite Falls keeps its original Ahwaneechee name, one of the few features in Yosemite National Park to do so; "Lehamite" is a native word for "arrowwood." Because it sits almost beside Yosemite Falls, it is easily overlooked, and it only runs in early spring or after heavy rain.
