Okay, I'm confused. You post a picture of Multnomah as the second highest perennial waterfall in the US and then say there are 4 others (besides Yosemite) higher?

No, you're not confused, I was confused with the usage of perennial. I mean to use "ephemeral", but "seasonal" probably makes more sense with waterfalls as opposed to springs or wetlands.

Gotcha. I had assumed you meant year-round by perennial, thus my confusion. Some of the seasonal falls in Yosemite - especially Ribbon Falls - are phenomenal. Ribbon Falls is the highest single stage fall in the world...
