Vernal Fall - Yosemite

Vernal Fall is a 317 ft waterfall on the Merced River. Unlike Yosemite Fall or Bridalveil Fall it is not visible from the valley floor. We took the Mist Trail to the top of Vernal Fall, this is the view from about halfway. To the top of Vernal it is about a 2.5 mile hike with a 1,000 ft elevation gain. Once we reached the top of Vernal, we decided to go on to the top of Nevada Fall. This was the hardest hike I've ever done. Nearly 10 miles round trip and 2,000 ft elevation gain, but it was 100% worth it!
