Encyclopedia : S : SI : SIL : Silver Strand Falls

---

Silver Strand Falls drops 574 feet (175m) along Meadow Brook, at the western end of Yosemite Valley, within Yosemite National Park. The falls are commonly thought to drop 1170 feet (356m), this is incorrect. The name Widow's Tears had been applied to Silver Strand Falls in the past, but seasonal waterfall located one drainage to the east of Meadow Brook, is now known as Widow's Tears, and is thought to drop 1170 feet, hence the confusion regarding the height.
