July 22 - Mist Trail

We pack up and get ready for our last 6 miles. We head down to Yosemite Valley via the Mist Trail.

The water falls are beautiful - supposedly from record snow melt this year. It becomes a zoo of tourists as we approach the valley. We learn that 3 hikers fell over Vernal falls a couple days earlier.

Nevada Falls - top

Nevada Falls - bottom

Vernal Falls

Trails End - we did about 32 km

Mission Accomplished - way below Half Dome

We pig out on junk food when we get to the village.

Time for greasy food and BEER!

It takes another 3 hours to recover the minivan from the trailhead. We setup our last camp in the dark.
