Why go
A steep Wawona trail climbs beside cascades to the top of a fall hidden within granite turns. Use Chilnualna Falls to connect Chilnualna Falls's defining feature with southern sequoias and Wawona. A pause at Chilnualna Falls works best when you compare Chilnualna Falls's immediate foreground with the neighboring terrain before continuing.
