Silver Strand Falls drops 574 feet (175m) along Meadow Brook, at the western end of Yosemite Valley, within Yosemite National Park. The falls are commonly thought to drop 1170 feet (356m); this is incorrect. The name Widow's Tears had been applied to Silver Strand Falls in the past, but the lower-volume waterfall located one drainage to the east of Meadow Brook is now known as Widow's Tears and is thought to drop 1,170 feet (360 m), hence the confusion regarding the height.

| - Les cascades Silver Strand són unes cascades de 175 m d'altura que cauen al llarg del Meadow Brook, a l'extrem occidental de la vall de Yosemite, al Parc Nacional de Yosemite (Estats Units d'Amèrica). Es creu que les caigudes d'aigua cauen 356 m, però això és incorrecte. El nom de Widow's Tears (Llàgrimes de la vídua) s'havia aplicat a les cascades Silver Strand en el passat, però una cascada de baix volum d'aigua que es troba a l'est de Meadow Brook es coneix com a Widow's Tears i es creu que té una altura de 360 m, d'aquí la confusió sobre la seva altura. El mapa recent de 1: 24.000 de la vall de Yosemite mostra 120 m d'altura per aquestes cascades i no 175 m, calculada per escaladors de gel. Atès que les cascades no són verticals, és possible que l'altura de l'escalada de gel sigui en realitat 175 m, mentre que la diferència d'elevació entre la part superior i la inferior és tal com es mostra el mapa topogràfic, 120 m. L'origen del número «1.170 peus» (356 m) per a l'altura d'aquestes cascades o de les cascades Widow's Tears és obscur. Però, en qualsevol cas, aquesta altura no és compatible ni per una observació de camp ni per un mapa topogràfic. Sembla que l'aigua de Widow's Tears cau més o menys abruptament per un nínxol quadrat des de prop de 250 m d'altura, i després comença a baixar 210 m addicionals en un angle generalment inferior sobre una sèrie de petits terraplens i lloses. Atès que les cascades Silver Strand i Widow's Tears estan situades en rierols que drenen cap a àrees petites i relativament baixes, normalment totes dues s'assequen completament durant l'any a mitjans de juny, ja que són alimentats exclusivament pel desglaç de la neu.

- Silver Strand Falls drops 574 feet (175m) along Meadow Brook, at the western end of Yosemite Valley, within Yosemite National Park. The falls are commonly thought to drop 1170 feet (356m); this is incorrect. The name Widow's Tears had been applied to Silver Strand Falls in the past, but the lower-volume waterfall located one drainage to the east of Meadow Brook is now known as Widow's Tears and is thought to drop 1,170 feet (360 m), hence the confusion regarding the height. Note that the recent 1:24,000 topo map of Yosemite Valley shows the height of this waterfall as 400 feet (120 m), not 574 feet (175 m), which is derived, apparently, from ice climbers. Since the waterfall is not vertical, it is possible that the ice-climbing height is, in fact, 574 feet (175 m), while the difference in elevation between the top and bottom is as shown on the topo sheet at 400 feet (120 m). The origin of the number "1,170 feet" for the height either of this or of nearby Widow's Tears is obscure. But in any case, this height is not supported either by a field survey or by the topo sheet. It appears that the Widow's Tears drop more or less steeply in a square alcove for about 810 feet (250 m), then proceeds to drop at generally lower angle an additional 700 feet (210 m) over a series of small stepdowns and slabs. Since both Silver Strand and Widow's Tears are located on streams draining small, relatively low areas, they both dry up completely in a normal year by mid June since they are fed exclusively by melting snow.
