Lehamite Falls, Tiered waterfall in Yosemite National Park, United States
Lehamite Falls descends 1,180 feet through multiple cascades down the granite cliffs of the Sierra Nevada mountains in Yosemite Valley.
The earliest documented observations of Lehamite Falls occurred during the mid-19th century when European settlers began exploring the Yosemite region.
The name Lehamite originates from Native American terminology meaning 'arrowwood,' reflecting the indigenous heritage of Indian Canyon.
Visitors can observe the falls from Leidig and Cooks Meadows or Yosemite Village, with spring offering the strongest water flow.
The waterfall flows through a narrow slot in the granite cliff, creating distinct steps before concluding in a horsetail-shaped formation.
