A Walk to Vernal Falls
The walk takes you from the Valley through a predominately conifer forest along the Merced River. The climb is mellow at first.
By the time you see the falls, the trail is carved via a staircase into the granite walls
Flows this time of year are very low and especially since CA is in a drought. Normally, this is a real torrent.

For me going down is harder than going up because of the irregular stairs that extend for a half mile or so.

In the spring, Vernal Falls is really a torrent :). The Mist Trail is more like a torrential downpour when the falls are full.
Very nice documentation of the trail.

It has been over 30 years since I was up on top of that fall. It always looks wonderful looking out from the fall. These are very nice. Makes me want to get back and visit the park.
