I have done this hike, Vernal and Nevada Falls, several times and it has never failed to thrill me. I have told others about it and directed them to some KZfaq videos. But from now on I am going to use your video to inspire people. I find it the best for imparting the wonder of this hike, showing the optional routes, and giving useful tips. Thank you.

This is a great breakdown of the Mist Trail hike(s)! I’ve done it twice, including a Half Dome summit at 60 years old and 10 permit applications. I would add that Spring time is optimal to see the waterfalls in all their glory. The cables don’t go up on Half Dome until late May. Pro Tip: if you do not score the permit for the cable climb, people have been know to wait at Sub Dome and kindly ask folks coming up if they have and extra permits (known as permit jumping) that you can tag along on. Sometimes hikers in their group drop out. THERE WILL BE A RANGER AT SUBDOME CHECKING PERMITS. If this works for you, be sure and offer to pay for the permit and a nice IPA 🍺

Excellent video. Hiking to Vernal and Nevada is my all-time favorite hike. Over the past 40 years or so, I have hiked to the top of Vernal 16 times and to the top of Nevada 7 times, most recently in 2019. I wish it could have been more, but that's how life goes. When I was younger, I would go up the Mist Trail all the way to Nevada (the short/steep route up the talus slope), but now my preferred method is Mist Trail to Vernal, Clark Point Cut-off Trail (and stopping at the viewpoint halfway up to look down at Vernal), John Muir Trail to Nevada, then back down the John Muir. Also, I just read that the Yosemite Conservancy raised something like $20 million for trail improvements in Yosemite and that about $5 million will be allocated to the Mist Trail. The granite steps need attention (slippery, as you mentioned, and many of the steps are too tall), the guard rails need repair (damage from last winter's heavy snowfall) and probably lengthening. I haven't seen a project description yet, but I am interested in the exactly what they plan to do.

Just hiked the mist and Nevada on saturday. My Legs are starting to feel better😂😂😂 There was ice on the stairs while I was there. Pretty scary. Those steps are steep and not the same size. Some steps are small and easy to climb, Some are knee height and a big step is needed to climb up lol. Very draining as it was my first hike or active activity in years. I now know what I need for next times visit

@TravelSzN
@TravelSzN 10 ай бұрын
Have a great time on the hike! If it's your first time doing this hike, just be careful and take your time on the granite steps as you get close to Vernal Fall - they can be slippery! If you want to avoid the crowds I'd try to get to the trailhead before 8AM. If you don't mind lot of people hiking around you, the trail is the busiest between 10AM and 3PM. The fog conditions in the valley change a lot depending on air, stream, and ground temperatures, so I can't give a definite answer on what time fog lifts. Some days there isn't any fog at all. Have fun in Yosemite!

Would it be a bit easier to turn right instead of going straight, eliminating the stairs and loop of Option 2? Would that eliminate the railed section with the steep drop-off?
@TravelSzN
@TravelSzN Жыл бұрын
Hi Debi - you could completely skip the stairs portion of the Mist trail by turning right at the junction a little ways past the footbridge (John Muir Trail to Clark Point). There are more switchbacks and the route is definitely safer than the mist trail steps, but if you go that route up and down, you miss seeing Vernal Fall up close and personal. The John Muir Trail to Clark Point is more of a forested trail, and once you get higher up you get views looking out around the valley, but you don't really see Vernal Fall from that trail (unless you start hiking down to the top of Vernal fall from Clark Point).

I'll be going to Yosemite in November for my 60th birthday, and (weather permitting) wanted to hike the Mist Trail. Im a beginner though, so i think hiking to the footbridge would be good. I'm thinking maybe the hike to Vernal Falls too, but a bit nervous about it. Can you recommend some good hiking shoes that I could buy?
@TravelSzN
@TravelSzN 8 ай бұрын
Have a great time in Yosemite! There are a lot of decent hiking shoes out there - if you are prone to rolling your ankles/have weaker ankles, I'd recommend hiking boots with some ankle support. Make sure you have thicker socks that go above your boots as well. And try going on some walks for a few weeks before your trip so your shoes are broken in/more comfortable when you are hiking. I usually buy my hiking boots 1/2 size up from my normal shoe size, but check dimensions before buying because some brands make the shoes larger or smaller :) I have a pair of these that I love: amzn.to/3Pq5WBi I also have a pair of these, which have nice traction on rocks, but don't have the same ankle support: amzn.to/46hZnr8

Hello! Have a nice time in Yosemite! I am very sorry for this delayed response - if you already visited the park, I hope you had a wonderful time! For first time hikers/National Park visitors to Yosemite, I'd recommend the Lower Yosemite Falls Loop and the Cooks Meadow boardwalk. Mirror Lake would also be a great one - all of these hikes are in the valley, pretty popular trails that are relatively flat.

Sorry for the delayed response! No permit required to hike from this trailhead to the base of subdome (you can see Vernal Fall, Nevada Fall, etc). If you wanted to go to the top of half dome, you would need a permit to get past subdome. You just need to pay to enter the national park - more info here: www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/fees.htm#entrance-passes

Wow! We were on Mist Falls Trail at the same time as you! We started back down from the very top of Vernal Falls at the first sound of thunder. How long did you wait for the shuttle? We ended up walking to Curry for the shuttle because there's parking at Curry (not at the Mist trail head) and people get off the shuttle to get their car at Curry, making room for others. Happy Hiking!!!
