For the last several years we've gone to Yosemite on vacation. This year was no different. Last year we hiked to Upper Yosemite Falls. This year we hiked to Nevada Falls via the mist trail going up and then we took the John Muir trail coming back. Oh how beautiful it was. Here is a picture of Nevada from Glacier Point. The day we did the hike I didn't bring my camera.
Looking at Nevada Falls from Glacier Point.
Looking at both Verna Falls (lower fall) and Nevada Falls (upper fall)
Vernal & Nevada Falls Vernal Fall footbridge: 1.6 miles/2.6 km round-trip;1.5 hours with 400 ft./122 m elevation gain
Vernal Fall: 2.4 miles/3.9km round-trip; 3 hours with 1,000 ft./366 m. elevation gain (via Mist Trail)
Nevada Fall: 5.4 miles/8.7km round-trip; 5 to 6 hours with 2,000 ft./610 m. elevation gain (via Mist Trail)
It was a great hike, and came as close as I will to Half Dome. :) Beautiful country for sure. Wonder where we will go next year???
