Simply Breathtaking!
I hike Vernal Falls yesterday morning. I'm an amatuer hiker so it was very difficult for me. I almost gave up at the footbridge but when I saw how beautiful it was, I challenged myself up to the top. My God was it worth it. We started hiking around 11:30 and we were finished by 1:30 or so. I advise that you were HIKING shoes that grip well, waterproof clothing (as you will get soaked if you choose to go all the way up), plenty of water & snacks to keep you hydrated and energized, a camera to capture this amazing place, and take as many breaks as you need to rest because the stairs on the second half of the hike is very difficult. You are going to need to be extremely cautious and alert so that you don't slip, as it could be extremely dangerous. Most importantly, enjoy this beautiful place...it has changed my life for ever!!!
