Three Chute Falls (also known as Hidden Falls or Tenaya Creek Falls[1]) is a waterfall on Tenaya Creek in Yosemite National Park, in the U.S. state of California.
The waterfall is located in lower Tenaya Canyon, around a half mile upstream from Mirror Lake.[2] The name is from the three distinct "chutes" that the creek splits into upon flowing onto a slab of granite atop the falls, after which it plunges about 80 feet (24 m) into a congregation of boulders.
Access
[edit]The falls are easily reached by proceeding upstream along the Mirror Lake Trail. They are relatively obscure, and the trail requires some scrambling.
Further upstream is the much larger, 600-foot (180 m) Pywiack Cascade of Tenaya Creek.
