Vernal Falls | ||||
A vertical drop of 317 feet, Vernal Falls is the first of two high waterfalls along the trail to Half Dome. Just beyond is Mist Trail, a steep trail that sprays hikers with Vernal Fall's mist... cooling tired hikers on hot summer afternoons but makes the mostly bedrock route slippery and dangerous. | ||||
