Nevada Falls

Nevada Falls:

After taking a little break and eating a little snack at the top of Vernal Falls, we continued the additional 900 foot climb up to the top of Nevada Falls. The 900 feet may sound not so high, but you need to remember that we had already climbed 1,000 feet to Vernal Falls and from the bottom of the trail to the top of Nevada Falls was right around 4 miles - 1,900 feet in 4 miles is a good size climb. I was excited to reach the top of Nevada Falls - what an accomplishment!







This picture was actually taken when we were walking back down on a different trail. It is one of my favorite pictures of Nevada Falls - I love the orange flowers!









This picture was taken at a look-out point on top of Nevada Falls - it was a great view!









We ate lunch at the top of Nevada Falls. We all packed sandwiches and other snacks to bring with us. There was a little smooth rock area on the side where we sat and relaxed. We waded in the water for a while to cool down. Some of us even drank some of the water - nothing like drinking mountain snow runoff!

These two pictures (one above and one below) were taken on the climb up to the top of Nevada Falls. I was pretty hot and sweaty in the bottom picture - stopping to rest and to snap a few pictures was great!
