They say that the Mist Trail's steep granite stairway has over 600 steps but I wasn't counting because Vernal Fall's beauty fully captured my attention as I climbed them. Up the Mist Trail and down the John Muir Trail. In between, I could feel the power of 2 huge waterfalls, their spray on my face
That morning sun was low in the sky and not the best for picture taking but still very pretty.
The trail led me on.
I soon got a sneak peek at Illilouette Fall.
There were a few spots with water running down the trail but nothing I couldn’t step on strategic rocks or pieces of wood to get over.
I followed the sign to Illilouette Fall.
And I could hear the roar of Illilouette Fall long before I reached a spot off of a short side trail with the best view of Illilouette Fall. When you actually reach the fall, you can’t see any of the drop, so the best views are from a ways back.
