A Magnificent Hike Even in September

Quote: With all the rain we’d had recently this spring (2005), I had trepidation regarding the potential conditions in Yosemite. Not to worry – we had the warmest trip yet this past weekend, and the roads were totally clear, with no ice or snow. Instead... Read the full Mist Trail and Vernal Falls review

Quote: The trail starts at the Happy Isles shuttle bus stop, with a gradual uphill walk into a narrowing canyon along the Merced River. About a quarter-mile in, there’s a second canyon that opens up to the south. We’re told that Illouette Falls can be... Read the full Mist Trail and Vernal Falls review

Quote: This is a strenuous hike about 7 miles long (includes Vernal Falls hike). It will take about 5 to 6 hours. It is a great place to take in the miracle of nature. The steps are slippery and wet, but there is a cable to hold on to. Not for the... Read the full Mist Trail and Vernal Falls review

Quote: Go early in the day to beat the crowds. Beautiful when the falls are performing at their greatest (spring). Steep, paved trail. Approximately 500 granite steps to the top of Vernal falls. A wonderful, awesome hike. Continue on to Nevada Falls
