Such great detail, too, Ed. Snow Creek Falls (2,140') is the second highest falls in the Park.
I dan't see how a photograph of the entire falls could be made unless the shot is taken from a spot up higher and further back. I could well be wrong, though. What say you?
The next year, 2011, a huge snow year in the Sierra Nevada, there must have been some big-time volume coming down those stair-steps, creating some humungously humungous gnarly wheels.

There's a stunning waterwheel falls high in the 2nd Recess in the High Sierra, where Mills Creek drops out of the hanging valley.
Right here:
https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=37.405713,-118.829214&spn=0.001594,0.00284&t=h&z=19
I'll have to try and dig out some photos. Don't hold your breath. We climbed past it very early in the morning, so all of my photos were all shot in the early morning darkness.
There was also a smaller pseudo-waterwheel falls where Mills Creek drops out of the 2nd Recess into the Mono Creek drainage. Can't pin-point the exact location, but somewhere around here:
https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=37.421486,-118.852201&spn=0.012747,0.022724&t=h&z=16
During the peak of the spring runoff it is so powerful that it's like standing next to a speeding freight train. I've never seen anything quite like it. Of course, crossing Mono Creek and/or Mills Creek under those conditions was... er.... "challenging." Might not be so impressive when it's drier.
