A Walk to Vernal Falls

Yosemite National Park, renowned for its breathtaking landscapes, offers visitors an array of picturesque trails. One such trail leads to the spectacular Vernal Falls. The journey begins at the Happy Isles trailhead. The Mist Trail, the path leading to Vernal Falls, is approximately 1.5 miles long (2.4 km) and is known for its stunning views. As you ascend, you'll be surrounded by lush vegetation and the soothing sound of the Merced River. We were there in the early fall, when the first few hints of yellow foliage started to appear along the trail, particularly at the higher altitudes.
