Tokopah Falls

California USA

Independent

Tokopah Falls, also known as Tokopah Valley Falls, is a cascading waterfall in Sequoia National Park, California. The falls are formed as the Marble Fork of the Kaweah River slides down a huge granite headwall of the glacial Tokopah Valley. Although the falls flow powerfully during the snow melt of late spring and early summer, it is usually a trickle by autumn, occasionally drying up completely during poor snow years. The falls are accessible by a fairly flat roundtrip hike from Highway 198.

Beautiful hike out there. It’s only about 1.7 miles to the spot where the falls are. I went today with my wife (it’s mid August at the time this review is written) and it was completely dried up. However, the river leading up to the falls was flowing well enough. The water was cool but not cold (probably around mid 60’s) and was moving well enough so I was able to lap up some water from it. Just FYI, there was a sign that said there had been 34 bear sightings in the last month and plenty of warnings about bears actively seeking human food so be aware of your surroundings as you are out here. There was also reports of mountain lions too.
