Vernal Falls
The first falls you see on the Mist Trail in Yosemite National Park. This is one of my favorite and most popular hikes you can do when you visit this National Park. The climb is moderate till you get to this point. Just for clarification the falls pictured here are running very low as the state of California has been through a severe drought. I was worried that I might not see much running water but we lucked out with some good weather as well as just enough water to river raft through the Merced. When you reach the top of these falls there is yet another hike to get to the upper falls named Nevada Falls as well as an emerald pool of water. Truly an amazing place that everyone needs to visit. It has become one of my top 5 places I've ever been. I think it is truly Heaven on Earth.
