Wildcat Falls is located in the western quarter of Yosemite National Park{{Cite web |last=waterfallrecord |date=2011-05-19 |title=Wildcat Falls, California |url=https://waterfallrecord.com/2011/05/19/wildcat-falls-california/ |access-date=2024-10-29 |website=The Waterfall Record |language=en}} alongside Highway 140, approximately 2.8 miles inside the park from the Arch Rock Entrance. It consists of a relatively thin string of falls and cascades totaling 720 feet (some sources list 630 feet), and only flows until about May or June. There are a total of seven drops in the waterfall, the longest being 120 feet. The base of the waterfall is a mossy grotto that is easily reached on foot and is a popular location among photographers.
