Will hike for views ๐ฅพ ๐ Vernal Falls is one of the most powerful waterfalls in Yosemite but unlike many that can be seen from the Valley floor, you have to work for this one. ๐บ๏ธ The shortest route to the falls is via the Mist Trail, aptly named as the waterfall spray often spills over the trail. Though just a little over a mile, the trail is considered moderate to strenuous. Be prepared for crowds, slick rock stairs, getting wet, rainbows and pure awe. ๐ Continue up 600 granite steps to see the top of the falls. ๐ ฟ๏ธ We camped at Upper Pines Campground and rode our @bluejaybikes to the trailhead at Happy Isles, though itโs walkable from the campgrounds and Curry Village. Shuttles are available, as well as limited parking. ๐ Vernal Falls, @yosemitenps ________ Best hikes in Yosemite, vernal falls hike, mist trail, how to hike vernal falls, Yosemite national park, must do hike in Yosemite valley, must do activity in Yosemite, what to do in Yosemite #yosemitevalley #vernalfalls #misttrail #besthikeinyosemite
