Beautiful hiking trail. The end is uphill but the rest is pretty easy. You can picnic along the streams or swim in the lower pools. Fun for kids as well!

This is an about 3 mile round trip hike to a medium sized but especially picturesque waterfall. The waterfall itself is actually a cascade and, depending upon water level, one can view it from many angles with some bouldering. The trail is shaded all the way, making for a comfortable summer hike. We went in the fall as the leaves were changing color and this enhance nature's beauty.

This is a short and scenic hike to the falls and swimming hole or just fish and picnic by the river. No fee

An easy hike of about 2 miles one way to a cascade-style waterfall of the South Fork Tuolumne River. Carlon Falls is 20-30 feet high and with a pool at its base and a series of small cascades downstream. You can visit this waterfall without going through the Yosemite National Park entrance gate (which requires an entrance fee). The falls are inside the park, but the trailhead isn't. From Whites Gulch Road, drive 21 Miles East on Highway 120 to Evergreen Road and turn left. Travel about .7 mile to the Carlon Day Use area, cross the bridge and park on the Northeast side of the bridge over the South Fork of the Tuolumne River. Trailhead is at this parking lot. You should be able to see some rainbow trout that live in the river. In the spring, there can be some nice wildflowers.
