It took Mother nature less than 8 billion years to create this natural water chute. It was once part of an irrigation system for a local apple orchard. Today it not only offers visitors a break from the heat but also provides memorable views of the rugged surrounding canyon walls. This waterslide is 80 feet in length and is lubricated by algae that cling to the crimson rocks.
The 100-foot-long granite Tenaya Creek Waterslide is not one of the advertised tourist stops here. It’s a secret of sorts and is too dangerous for children. You’ll find it about two miles off the Tioga Pass road.
You can park at the well-known “sunrise trail” and hike in from there. The best time to go is in late summer. So what’re you waiting for?
