Lehamite Falls is a seasonal series of cascades in Indian Canyon, just right (east) of Yosemite Falls, seen above Yosemite Village. A 2021 hiking account spotted it from near Swinging Bridge on the Valley Loop Trail. No official viewpoint is named. A climbing route page describes a rough hike up Indian Canyon; that approach is not covered here.
