Description:
Bridalveil Falls Trail is usually the first trail which any first
time park visitor does. Today we took two friends of our daughter,
our daughter and our son to Yosemite Valley. Rachel's friends were
either first time or not very frequent visitors. It is always a
wonderful thing to see the Valley through the eyes of first time
visitors.
Instead of parking in the already packed, waiting room only
parking lot, we went a little bit further down the road and parked on
the side of the road. From there, we followed a path to the main
path. Since we traveled from Fresno, we took a detour back to the
parking lot to use the accommodations. Then it was back up to
Bridalveil Falls Vista Point. While the spray from the falls was
light, it still was there. While these falls may never go dry, this
year towards Fall, there may only be a few drops going over the side.
Being such a little hike, we were wondering about the suitability
for Capture California. But when we look at NPS' list of
hikes
for the Valley, lo and behold, there it was!. An easy hike, but a
hike no less.
