Tokopah Falls
Lower tier of Tokopah Falls
Tokopah Falls, also known as Tokopah Valley Falls, is a 1,200-foot (370 m) 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 4.1-mile (6.6 km) roundtrip hike from Highway 198.
