Technically Merced Lake and Washburn Lake comprise part of Merced River....Quote

When was the last time the Merced River was dry?
so...
Over 1500 years ago when it was covered by Tioga Glacier perhaps...

The creek will have water in it year round... so obviously you are wrong.

You'll find water in it somewhere. Almost guaranteed.
(I was just busting your balls)
Mid October:
Water still present in pools up atop.
I've heard stuff like this before:
"There's no water in Snow Creek"
Complete and utter bollocks. There's fish in Snow Creek.... so it just means you didn't look very good.
Now... it IS possible that Yosemite Creek becomes nearly complete dryed out... but PROBABLY there is some
puddles here and there along the creek...
Anyway, many years... by Labor Day... I contend that if you took someone who had never been to the park
they certainly wouldn't call it a waterfall.

Just for you (same trip, different view):Quote

Chick-on-buzzard, that photo of yours depicts exactly what I see when I visit each September. When I was a kid visiting Yosemite my old grandpappy used to tell me "Yosemite Falls never stop flowing". I really never new what the hell he was talking about until later on when I was a bit older that when one views the side of the granite wall when the falls are dry they can see an image of a flowing Yosemite Falls etched into it seemingly in forever perpetual flow motion. Well, simulation is ok but I hope to see the real deal this time around.

He might have been referring to Vernal and Bridalveil Falls, and not Yosemite Falls.
I for one have seen Yosemite Falls bone dry, even in late August. One massive wall — not one drop of water in sight.

I have NEVER seen the falls dry at Labor Day, never anything close, even in drought years.

That's viewed from the top. Check out Yosemite Falls from the Four Mile Trail in September. It's not dry from that vantage point. A trickle? Yup, but not dry. And in any case, this is a year with 200% normal waterfall. There isn't a chance in hell they won't see waterfalls on September 5.
