The Tallest Waterfall in North America

Yosemite Falls in California's Yosemite National Park plunges 2,425 feet in three cascades, making it the tallest waterfall in North America. The park also protects giant sequoias in the Mariposa Grove — some more than 3,000 years old and among the largest living things on Earth.
