The tallest waterfall in America is Angel Falls, located in Venezuela. However, in the context of United States waterfalls, Yosemite Falls in California holds the title. With a total drop of 2,425 feet, it is one of the highest waterfalls in North America. Yosemite Falls is composed of three distinct sections: the upper falls, the middle cascades, and the lower falls. The waterfall is a major attraction in Yosemite National Park and is particularly spectacular during the spring when snowmelt causes the water flow to swell, creating breathtaking views and sounds.
