Yosemite Falls: The up side of all that rain & snow

A thank-you to the little green snake from Yosemite.

And from here:

YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, Calif. (AP) -- Water, water everywhere - and it's a spectacular sight. Record Sierra snowfall over the winter now means record snow melt as temperatures rise, swelling Yosemite National Park's iconic waterfalls, streams and rivers to their most turbulent level in years.

Yosemite Falls, the nation's tallest, is spewing enough water to fill a gasoline tanker truck every two seconds. The force of water at Bridalveil Falls across the valley kicks up a mist that clouds the meadow below.

It means that until the peak melt around mid-June, visitors will experience more treacherous beauty in Yosemite than even the travel brochures promise.

If you ever gave a thought to visiting Yosemite, looks like this is the time to do it!

Nice to hear the Merced is full; last time I was there, not a drop at Yosemite Falls and barely a mist at Bridal Veil...
