WALK SUMMARY

This is a demanding trail which climbs 2,700ft in some 3.5 miles, viewing the amazing cascades of the endless eponymous falls (which do, one should say, vary between huge flow and a slow trickle depending on the time of year), as well as giddy views down onto Yosemite Valley. 

You can walk on to El Capitan or along the North Rim to Tamarack Flat on the Tioga Road to pick up a bus. 

See our Yosemite page for more general and practical information and photos.
