Nevada Fall is a 594 ft (181 m) high waterfall on Merced River in Yosemite National Park, California. It is located below the granite dome, Liberty Cap, at the west end of Little Yosemite Valley, at 37°43′31″N, 119°31′58″W.
The Emerald Pool forms on the "step" between Nevada Fall and Vernal Fall downstream. The 317 ft (97 m) high Vernal Fall is a short hike from the bottom of Nevada Fall. They form a cascade in which Merced River flows down to Yosemite Valley.
This cascade is sometimes called the giant staircase, which is evident when viewed from above, say from Glacier Point.
