Description
Click to view photo(s)
This is the largest waterfall in the Tenaya Canyon at 660'. Access to its base is very difficult with no official trails leading to it. The most easily accessible viewpoints are at Glacier Point and Sentinel Dome, however a telephoto lens is needed for a decent picture. "Py-we-ack" in the native language means "glistening rocks" and was also applied to Tenaya Creek and Lake.Location
