When snow melts on 9,000-11,000 foot high mountain peaks, the water's gonna run downhill--and fast! At Yosemite National Park's Bridalveil Falls the drop is 620 feet (approximately the height of a 62-story skyscraper). Yosemite Falls has a drop of 2425 feet! The sound of this cascading water is truly thunderous. In order to get close to the base of Bridalveil, we donned rain gear to stay at least somewhat dry. When the water finally lands, it goes everywhere!
