Mist Trail John Muir Hike

Rainbow under Vernal Falls

Headed out to lead our group to the #1 day hike in Yosemite.  The Mist Trail up to Vernal and Nevada Falls and down the John Muir Trail for spectacular views of the valley.  After a good rainy season, the Mist Trail was back to being the Mist Trail.  After so little water the past couple of years I thoroughly enjoyed getting my rain jacket out once we started to get hit by the spray of Vernal Falls.  I highly recommend crossing over the top of Nevada Falls and taking the John Muir Trail down.  Loop trails are always more interesting than out and backs and the views are spectacular!
