Wet Dry Wet Dry

We went for a walk up the mist trail that takes you up Vernal and Nevada Falls. The path up to the top of Vernal Falls is particular wet as the mist from the falls whips up the narrow corridor carved out by the waterfalls and straight into our faces.


The reward for getting up is worth it though as you reach a stone platform where you can sun yourself in the warm sunshine and watch all the nervous walkers make their way up the slippery steps.


The top of Nevada Falls another hour and a half up up a series of granite steps smoothed out by many a hiker's boots. The view from the top is stunning as you realise you are another few hundred metres up in granite cliffs of Yosemite. Just another 4 hours round trip is the the top of Half Dome but we had to save that for another trip.


Worth the effort.
