Two Views of Yosemite Falls

Everyone visits and captures images of the Falls especially during the height of the snow melt. Thought looking at them from two extreme angles would provide something different. At least I got a good bit of exercise doing this.

Dan, the top-of-the-falls view is simply breathtaking and stunning. I love the depth, detail, and color. You can see all the way back to the distant snow-capped hills in the far upper left. I was wondering where this viewpoint is. I don't think I've been there before. --WT

Thanx Warren for the kind remarks, the top of the falls image is from the rock ledge that is accessed via the stone steps at the very top of Yosemite Falls. I made the climb with a tri-athelete and was humbled by her pace.

We always wondered what the view looks like from the top of Yosemite Falls. :)

Is there anything interesting to see between the valley floor and the top?

How long did it take to get up there?

Great climb, plan on a minimum of two hours except if you are with a super fit athlete, and it took me 1.5, she made it in an hour and 15.

Great views and you walk up steps much like vernal.

30 years ago I did that hike. Great view, and it hasn't changed. It took me 2 hrs back then because of all the wetness on the rocks.
