The Most Photographed Waterfalls in California
I have been curious lately about what would be considered the “most photographed” waterfalls in California. Obviously, Yosemite Falls would certainly be number one (and it was, by a very long shot). But I have heard people say McWay Falls and Eagle Falls are right up there in the number two or three position. Well, I decided to try to determine this. But how could one possibly find this out?
Well, here is my highly unscientific method. I browsed through the search listings on Flickr, which is the top photographer’s posting site on the web. The listings on Flickr should give (in my mind) an average estimation of reality. So with a bit of work, I came up with a very rough idea about the order. There were a few surprises. I thought Bridalveil would be number two, and I did think McWay and Eagle would be further up the list then they were. Alamere Falls was definitely a huge surprise.
So without further ado, here are the top 10 photographed waterfalls in all of California:
1. Yosemite Falls
2. Vernal Falls
3. Bridalveil Falls
4. Nevada Falls
5. Burney Falls
6. Alamere Falls
7. McWay Falls
8. Eagle Falls
9. Horsetail Falls (Yosemite)
10. Feather Falls
