Yosemite Valley Flooding, 2023 (In Explore)
Well, I had to put on my waders and carefully set up my tripod for this shot. Actually, this was taken from the swinging bridge in the middle of the Merced River. Right below me a log was trapped on the walkway because it couldn't get under the bridge. Crazy amount of water coming off of the Yosemite Valley rim this year. This view really shows the flooding that they've been worried about this year.
Normally, the river would be about 15 feet lower than it is right now. The right side of the picture would be a meadow that would have a lot of people viewing Yosemite Falls. This year the river looks almost like a moving lake through here. I've never seen so much water coming out of Yosemite Falls before. Yosemite Valley is putting on a show that you don't want to miss this year.
Here is a view of the river from earlier in the winter after a snow storm. It really shows how much the river has risen: www.flickr.com/photos/35900399@N07/52606131465/in/datepos...
