The Mist Trail in Yosemite National Park isn't only the top hike in Yosemite, but is the second most popular trail in the entire U.S. National Park system.
Following the beautiful, but deadly Merced River as it plunges 2,000 feet from Yosemite's high country past the unbelievable Nevada Fall and Vernal Fall.
Vernal Fall itself is perhaps the deadliest water feature in Yosemite, and Nevada Fall at nearly twice the height is not far behind.
This is a landscape that defies description having inspired the national park idea. But this is a landscape filled with deadly serious hazards for the ill-prepared or foolhardy hiker. Yosemite's water features are inspiring but deadly.
Enjoy this spectacular HDR tour of this precious landscape and learn how to enjoy your journey to the top of Vernal and Nevada falls safely.

Beautiful hike and scenery. I can see where it could be dangerous if not being mindful. I imagine the crowds play a part as well. Loved the video, rainbows and information. Thanks for sharing
This is beyond stunning...and the memories of your Dad are so very special...how awesome for you both! on another note..people are stupid. I live near Lake Superior, and when she gets wilded up, you don't go to play in her...there's huge rocks, etc...and she will turn you into fish food. You HAVE to respect Mother Nature. And not everyone does. Then they get their 15 mins of fame, by being noted on TV for the horrendous death!
FIRST OF ALL I’m only 7:38 in this video and annoyed with your criticism. I can’t say I’ve witnessed Mist Trail before the rails were put up but, I recently hiked this trail at the end of April 2024. I’d like to mention that I am an active 31 year old personal trainer to premise my statement. I wholeheartedly believe that the rails were not only a good idea but, they do not diminish the beauty of the trail and you can easily take pictures of the waterfall and river without them in it. Your exaggeration of how they mar the experience is ridiculous but it is your own opinion. In YOUR video, you can see people using the railing to help go up and down. I was able to take pictures closer to the edge BECAUSE I had the safety of the rails. People like your father who otherwise would not have been able to journey up those stairs might have had the choice with those rails, although tbh, the trail is no easy feat regardless. SECOND, with as much traffic going both up and down(I went when it’s not even as busy as the other months), while trying to focus on not slipping on the wet rocks going both ways, the rails were a lifesaver. It was already sketchy to get up and down that area, I can only imagine how many more people would have fallen in that river or busted their heads on rocks from falling without being able to grab the rails. Other than that, I can empathize with your complaints.
I did this hike in 2010. I hike a lot in my home state, and this was a grunt, but so worth it. Due to a knee problem, I made it into a loop by taking a less steep way down (the JM trail). Thanks for taking me along - loved the memories.
8:22 in, I definitely AGREE people should be responsible for their own safety and have the self-awareness and accountability to know whether or not they should keep going. On my way back down Mist Trail was a mother and her what appeared to be around 5-6 year old daughter. The daughter was only looking down but slipping and could not stand on her own, the mother was holding her up with her hand for the most part and telling her repeatedly “look forward look forward LOOK FORWARD” I remember thinking to myself that her daughter would be the death of her if they tried to go up those wet stairs. People, especially adults/parents should be able to ascertain if they should turn back. But people are stupid.
This is so informative. Thanks
I did this 3 days ago. I was half way up the wet steps before I got to the segment without hand rails. It was Memorial Day and there were a ton of people and it was super wet granite steps in front of me. I turned back and hiked back down. Not worth it. I’ll do it when it’s dry no problem. But the wet steps and crowds on Memorial Day weekend were next level insane. They need to put rails the whole way.
I hiked it 2 weeks ago. It was terrifying and I wasn’t physically prepared. I feel I caused danger to others having to wait and go around me. I feel very bad about that. I made it, but only barely. I’m training now . I’m going to try again May 2025. I should have turned back. For the sake of others
Nice ,where did you get that hat ?
Respect
Thanks! Hope you enjoyed it.
