Hike the Iconic Upper Yosemite Falls Trail

"AMAZING VIEWS COME WITH HARD WORK" The ultimate payout is at the top!! Depending on the time of year you can enjoy the fresh water in the mouth of the waterfall. Start at Camp 4 and hike up immediate incline for over an hour to get to the viewpoint which is considered halfway. In my opinion it's not!!!! Then get ready to be treated to a stunning view of all the valley Sierra Nevada mountains behind Half Dome, Glacier point, north dome, sentinel dome, 4 mile trail, Merced river, meadows and much more! If u choose to continue u will be treated to the ultimate view of Yosemite falls. AN UP AND PERSONAL VIEW AND MOMENT WITH UPPER YOSEMITE FALLS. The hike is not done yet, now u have the neverending switchbacks, yes never ending lol. Once you get to the top enjoy the view not many get to see in their lifetime and be thankful we have places like this to go to!! Hike in the real early morning to get the coolest weather any start time after 9am can be tough!! There is no water fountains so pack in your water and PACK OUT ALL TRASH!!!!! be ready to get warm and sweaty, If you have health problems be advised this hike is tough and can cause physical harm and even death. Have fun be safe and enjoy every view as it maybe the only time you ever get to see the valley or falls from this vantage!!

Yosemite National Park is truly like heaven on earth. The views, waterfalls, mountains, and fresh air make this place unforgettable. Everything was beautiful and well maintained, and the experience was amazing from start to finish. Also, for active duty military members and veterans with a Veteran ID, you can get a free annual pass for all national parks, which is an awesome benefit. Big shout out to the park rangers for doing an amazing job keeping the park safe, clean, and welcoming for everyone. Their hard work really shows.

Attention! This is NOT a easy trail, but you still can make it if it’s your first one. It was my first long trail and in a hard pathway. I had no idea it would be this hard, as you can see in the photos, the steep hills are hard to walk on, there was some trees on the way so I needed to jump them (scary as hell if you think you’re doing this beside of a cliff) and it’s a long road. It took me 3h30 to get up there and a lot of stops, I started my walking from the curry village and it was around 12km to get up there and more 8km going down. My water run out in the middle of the trail and I got some from the running water on the rocks (some specific point you can reach to it), I didn’t get sick and it was freshly at least! Be prepared for slippery rocks, watering, and wind on top of the trail (gets cold up there). It’s totally worth it, but bring enough food, be aware of EACH STEP, and take your time, do not rush yourself because of the others, the competition is only against you and your limits.

Places like Yosemite Falls naturally inspire and create a draw for people to come experience it for themselves. The entire park is awe inspiring and a great reminder that we have an incredible Creator! God could have made earth simply and functional to meet our basic needs but He knew we need inspiration, encouragement and reminders that we have a great God! Yosemite is one of those incredible places!

Better to visit when there's more water flow! Since I came during the dry season, the views and waterfalls weren't quite like the pictures, but overall still good
