Day 3 we decided to go on a trail to Vernal and Nevada falls, Vernal falls to the foot bridge is 1.6 miles with a 400 ft elevation gain to the fall itself. It is another 1.4 mile with 600 ft additional gain and believe me this old body felt it especially the last 100 ft to the top. Nevada fall would have been an additional 3.4 miles and I passed on that.This trail was rated as strenuous for the last 1.4 miles and that's what it was but getting to the top but it was well worth it. Jeri stayed below where the trail starts at a very pretty spot by the creek formed by the falls.
This morning we went to the visitors center and spend some time at the Indian museum and learned a little of the very first settlers of Yosemite and also of the history of the park.
All in all we had a great time here and for sure will go back to visit Mariposa groves with the giant Sequoias Here are some picks of day 3
