It is publicly noted that Yahoo Falls is 113 feet tall. I have no idea how the park service got that measurement, how old that measurement is and how they measured it. I measured this falls quite a few times, using several different methods and I am being generous with the 108' tall measurement. That is to the bottom of that rock on the top left of the crest of the waterfall. I disagree that this falls is 113' tall, and that is an incorrect measurement/information.
