falls only in april and may? true or not?

my neighbor mentioned that the best time was april-may and that the falls dry up in June. So ... are those the only good times to go and see the falls? Other months that are comparable?

thank you!

falls only in april and may? true or not?

The fullest time for the fall are in the Spring. This is in relations to when the snow starts to melt - i.e. winter has ended, warmer days, sun out more often. The falls also depend upon the amount of snow fall for the season - last year was a very good year for snow fall, so the falls have been spectacular this year. Its never certain what year will be a major snow pack year and what year it will not (usually you know about end January.). Even in ';non-peak snow'; years, spring is generally good.

As such, if you want to go see the falls at their peak, plan on end April/first half May. This is the best time to go as many schools are not out yet and summer is not into peak visitor season yet.

In most years there is still decent water in the falls come mid-June. Certainly it will be below peak, but there will be falls to see!

Last year%26#39;s snowpack was still melting in early August this year, making for beautiful sights at Yosemite Falls and Bridalveil Falls when we were there then. I don%26#39;t believe they ';dry up'; totally.

This was an amazing year, though. Definitely far from normal. Usually there is NO water in Yosemite Falls by mid-summer. Bridalveil falls does not dry up normally, but usually it is reduced to a trickle by mid-summer. Vernal and Nevada falls do not go dry either.
