'''Three Chute Falls''' (also known as Hidden Falls or Tenaya Creek Falls<ref>{{Cite web |title=Hike to Hidden Falls (aka Tenaya Creek Falls) |url=https://www.theoutbound.com/yosemite/hiking/hike-to-hidden-falls-aka-tenaya-creek-falls |access-date=2022-04-15 |website=www.theoutbound.com |language=en}}</ref>) is a [waterfall](/source/waterfall) on [Tenaya Creek](/source/Tenaya_Creek) in [Yosemite National Park](/source/Yosemite_National_Park), in the U.S. state of [California](/source/California).

The waterfall is located in lower [Tenaya Canyon](/source/Tenaya_Canyon), around a half mile upstream from [Mirror Lake](/source/Mirror_Lake_(California)).<ref>{{Cite web |title=Three Chutes Falls |url=https://www.world-of-waterfalls.com/userwaterfallreviews/three-chutes-falls/ |access-date=2022-04-15 |website=World of Waterfalls |language=en-US}}</ref> The name is from the three distinct "chutes" that the creek splits into upon flowing onto a slab of [granite](/source/granite) atop the falls, after which it plunges about {{convert|80|ft|m}} into a congregation of boulders.

==Access==
The falls are easily reached by proceeding upstream along the Mirror Lake Trail. They are relatively obscure, and the trail requires some scrambling.

Further upstream is the much larger, {{convert|600|ft|m|adj=on}} [Pywiack Cascade](/source/Pywiack_Cascade) of Tenaya Creek.
