Bill;
are you the one with the pet peeve of people calling it Falls instead of Fall? lolol if so, i am guilty of that, it's a hard habit to break.

I think there is misunderstanding about the pictures. They are suppose to be placed where the photographer was postioned, not the object of the photo. That could put Half Dome at Tunnel View, for instance.Quote
Ok... I do have one complaint tho... and that is Google Earth... try clicking on the
pictures... nearly half of them are not in the correct place...

all the years i've been going to Yosemite, i have never learned the name of the falls right across from Bridalveil... a bus driver told me it was called Ribbon Falls. it isn't a fall that you normally would see unless yer there around the snow melt season. right now it's goig pretty good.

Bee, that's Horsetail.
Looky on your map... to the west of El Cap... you'll see Ribbon Meadow/Ribbon Creek/Ribbon Fall.
Horsetail comes down on the east shoulder of El Cap.
At this time of year from Swinging Bridge you'll be able to see Lehamite Falls which should be running nicely too...

You ARE deprived. Don't forget to visit the Grand Tetons.
You do know why they are called Grand Tetons, right?

Not an uncommon event to grow up in an area and not know much about the scenic attractions. Many people in California have never been to the snow! Of course, you can probably SEE HALF DOME from Manteca, right?Quote

i have friends here locally who have lived here for over 20 yrs and have never been to Yosemite... up until about 5 years ago, i had a friend who grew up here and had never been to Yosemite in his life until he was about 45 yrears old!! (it's only a 2 1/2 hr drive).

Where is the best spot to view Ribbon Fall? I was there in May 2008 and I didn't even notice it. Also where is the best place to view Silver Strand Falls? I didn't even know that one existed until a few days ago.
Thanks

Almost positive now that you can't see Silver Strand from Tunnel View.
Certain you can if you start hiking up towards Inspiration Point or if you go down to Artist Point.

Goat Fallz would be cool. We'd have to go with a z though cause derz just too much controversy with the s.
