Yosemite Valley - two day tripThe lower of the two steps that make up the Giant Staircase, Vernal Falls via the Mist Trail explores a stretch of the Merced River Canyon as it rises off of the valley floor and up to the top of Vernal Falls. The hike is a nice there-and-back option to warm-up prior to setting out on a higher elevation hike such as Glacier Point via the 4-Mile Trail and Yosemite Falls Trail. The trail begins at Happy Isles Trailhead, which is also the start of the famous John Muir Trail. Follow the JMT along the north bank of the Merced River as it winds through the forest of black oak, incense cedar, and ponderosa pine and passes the occasional house-sized granite boulder.
