Rancheria Falls

Why go

A long trail continues beyond Wapama to broad cascades in a quieter section of the Hetch Hetchy watershed. Use Rancheria Falls to connect Rancheria Falls's defining feature with Hetch Hetchy shoreline. A pause at Rancheria Falls works best when you compare Rancheria Falls's immediate foreground with the neighboring terrain before continuing.
