The Mist Trail

The view of the Mist Trail from Washburn Point is really remarkable and puts in to perspective how much we had to hike to get to the top of Nevada Falls! The tail begins at the Happy Isles trailhead, which is at the bottom of this photo. From there it ascends about 900-feet to the top of Vernal falls, which are the lower set of falls. And then ascends another 1,000-feet to the top of Nevada Falls, which are the upper set of falls in this photo. Total was about 1,900-feet of climbing, just a few hundred feet short of our hike to Clouds Rest.
