Mist Trail (5)




After much climbing, I reached the top of Vernal Falls.

Before cascading off the cliff the water gathers at Emerald Pool.

It's about a mile from here to the top of Nevada Falls.



Vacationers used to swim in Emerald Pool.


It's closed for safety reasons and habitat restoration.



The rocks are so finely polished they glare intensely.



The majority turn back at the top of Vernal Falls.



The Mist Trail became hard to follow.
