This is a small natural spring in Yosemite Valley near the Pohono Bridge. It trickles quietly over rocks as it flows into the Merced River. It flows year- round and you can drink directly from it. Many people pass right by this spot on their way into the Valley. Take a moment to stop and enjoy this hidden treasure! It's also a great spot to take some photos to begin your Yosemite adventure.
