If I recall correctly, it's the base of the Cascade(?) Falls, it falls down the north side of the canyon west of the road forks on the entrance/exit highways. The top part is formed by Tamarack and Caascade Creeks which flow under a couple of arch bridges west of the tunnels on the way to Crane Flats and tumble down the cliffs and down under Highway 140 on the way to El Portal, directly across from the Rostrum, the view area west of the Wawona Tunnel.

I enjoyed your gallery, Craig! I was there also, from the 21st to the 25th, you must have been as busy taking photos as I was. I find the smallfalls photo very interesting, with all the mini falls. I don't recognize the spot, I guess I'll have to go back and look for it...
