Location

This decent waterfall (~50') was spotted while visiting Ashley Lake in the Ansel Adams Wilderness. There wasn't much flow in the creek in September of a drought year but it should be more impressive in a more average snowfall year (and earlier in the season). This waterfall could also be called Upper King Creek Falls, but we decided to name it after the lake. Any picture from this lake probably shows this waterfall.
