My YOUTUBE video of YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK
We where in Yosemite National Park in September, that is a good season for the wheather, 
because it´s not so hot or so cold, but the waterfalls are almost dry, as you can see in my pictures of the waterfalls.
Bridalveil Fall is one of the most prominent waterfalls in the Yosemite Valley in California, seen yearly by millions of visitors to Yosemite National Park.
When the wind blows briskly, the waterfall will appear to be falling sideways. During lesser water flow the falls often don't reach the ground. Because of this, the Ahwahneechee Native Americans called this waterfall Pohono, which means Spirit of the Puffing Wind.
While Yosemite Falls seem to also fall into this category, the original course took the Yosemite Creek down a gorge to the west of its current location. The primary source of Brida
lveil Falls is Ostrander Lake, some 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) to the south. flows from a U-shaped hanging valley that was created by a tributary glacier.
Bridalveil Fall is 188 metres (620 ft) flows year round. The glaciers that carved Yosemite Valley left many hanging valleys which spawned the waterfalls that pour into the valley. All of the waterways that fed these falls carved the hanging valleys into steep cascades with the exception of Bridalveil Fall. Bridalveil still leaps into the valley from the edge of the precipice, although that edge has moved back into an alcove from the original edge of the valley.
The Ahwahneechee tribe believed that Bridalveil Fall was home to a vengeful spirit named Pohono which guarded the entrance to the valley, and that those leaving the valley must not look directly into the waterfall lest they be cursed. They also believed inhaling the mist of Bridalveil Fall would improve one's chances of marriage.
