Quaking Aspen Falls is a waterfall in California. Height has not been officially recorded. Access details and conditions have not yet been verified in person by Fallspots — the data on this page comes from OpenStreetMap and USGS GNIS.
Quaking Aspen Falls is in California. The falls are inside Yosemite National Park, a US National Park. The base sits at roughly 7,951 feet of elevation. Drive time is about 10 minutes from Yosemite Valley. OpenStreetMap shows a trail within 750 meters of the marked location, though the name isn't recorded. No public parking is recorded within 2 km, so a longer approach is likely. This is one of the more frequently visited falls in the state by our popularity model. Source records come from OpenStreetMap.
Quaking Aspen Falls is a 25-foot, multi-stranded waterfall off Tioga Pass Road in Yosemite National Park. Although the falls typically dry up by August, the stream flows year-round both above and below the falls.
