Yosemite waterfalls right now?

How are the falls there right now? Anyone just been there? We're going right after Memorial Day and hoping to see wildflowers & waterfalls.
Thanks

The YNP website says:

"Yosemite, Vernal, Nevada, and Bridalveil Falls are flowing at nice spring-time flows!"

The falls should be great now since the snow is melting and that increases the flow of the falls. Probably wildflowers coming out in the valley.

Try the web cams to get an idea of how it looks now and before you go.

I was there last year right after Memorial Day and they were really flowing! We also saw a lot of snow. Have a great trip. (not sure how it will be this year but, make sure you take a light sweater) Hope this helps.

I was there about 2 weeks ago & the snow is almost ALL gone. Better hurry & yes in the upper levels flowers should be in Bloom but don't expect them in the Valley.

Rainfall and snowpack were below normal levels this year, so I expect the wildflowers wont last as long as they normally do, same with the waterfalls. Yosemite is wonderful with or without them though, so don't dispair
