Yosemite Valley Ribbon falls (#0551)

One of the reasons that I've paid little attention to the waterfalls in Yosemite is the volume of tourists in Yosemite, making it difficult to spend time appreciating the beauty of a falls. A more obvious reason for not paying attention to them is that, even though I've been to Yosemite at least a dozen times, I've always been there at a time when water flow was diminished -- usually September or October. My timing for this trip was inadvertently good, the park was busy but not overwhelmingly, and the wet winter meant that all of the falls were flowing. This is Ribbon Falls which, though one of the tallest of its kind in the U.S., is generally ignored. See: www.world-of-waterfalls.com/yosemite-ribbon-falls.html
