Hike the Iconic Upper Yosemite Falls Trail

We only had a short time to see the waterfall, but we were totally awed by the wonder of nature. It's powerful and beautiful beyond words. It can be really wet when you go closer to the fall, but heaps of photo opportunities out there.

The views from the valley are insane. The waterfall was running when we arrived and the views were amazing 👏. Definitely consider checking this place out if you ever take a vacation to Yosemite. Trust me, it's so worth it 👌.

It's a VERY strenuous hike, switchbacks on rocky paths almost almost the way up. Going up is strenuous but very doable, and the view is wonderful. Can be cold at the top and warm at the bottom, bring layers. Have a picnic st the top. Don't forget to go down from the top to the actual falls for the best view. Going down is more difficult. Hiking poles are highly recommended, and knee braces if you are at all so inclined. Can be very slippery if it is wet.

Went for my birthday on the last week of April and first week of May, there was barely any people and me and my family saw the full raging water falls and breath taking views. It’s definitely a place you have to visit in your life time, it was easily one of the most beautiful places I’ve seen.

It is the biggest reason that attraction in the Yosemite National Park! Millions people visit this falls a year. Specifically for the year of 2023 due to the record high rainfall last winter! There are many waterfalls that you can visit! The Lower Yosemite falls are the most easy one and visited the most! Vernal falls are bit challenging, you needed to get prepared for! Nevada falls are further down the Mist trail which is really worth the walk and climb! We enjoyed all our visits to Yosemite no matter what season or the volume or conditions of the waterfall! It’s just so beautiful and breathtaking! Just can’t wait to go again!
