(4) These falls are supplied by mountain torrents which form a river 30 feet wide at the crest of the ridge seen in the view. It is one of the grandest falls in the world, having carved out for itself a channel 300 feet deep at the top. It then takes its first leap of 1,600 feet, thence through a self-made, gorge in the hard rock, it boils on, in a tumultuous cataract, over 600 feet in descent, to the top of the lower Cal, where it takes another leap of 500 feet to the Floor of the Valley. The en-tire height of the Fall is 2,600 feet. Its waters come from the melting snows of Mt. Hoffman, which, gurgling and rushing, and boiling and bounding, from many sources, gradually from the broad rushing river, which, interrupted in its course, falls over this stupendous cliff. J. M. Hutchings, Authors of "In the heart of the Sierras."
