点评:Hiked the Mist Trail to Vernal Falls and Nevada Falls. Parked along Happy Isles Rd. Got there at 5:48am and the lot was 30% full. Started our hike at 5:53am. It is a .6 mile walk to the trailhead. Once you start your hike, the hike to the footbridge is not easy. It climbs and its steep. It’s paved tho so that makes it nice. It’s about .8 miles to the footbridge to Vernal Falls where you hike up so many stairs. It’s steep and pretty strenuous. Completely manageable tho even if your fitness is sketchy. The views are amazing which makes the hike slower and really not too hard bc you are looking around and taking pics. As a family, we are all in pretty good shape and it wasn’t terrible. Hard, yes. Strenuous, no. Once we got to the top we went right up to Nevada Falls. Strenuous for sure. Take lots of breaks to enjoy the scenery and it’s not too bad. It does get steep in some spots. Footing is just like any other hike. Rough in some spots but overall very fair. The top of Nevada Falls is beautiful. You get a great shot of Liberty Cap and Half Dome. We stopped and had lunch. This is where we headed down to Clark Point via John Muir trail. We went up 2100ft which means you’ve got to come down 2100ft. In my world going down sucks. Going this way via John Muir trail is a loop. Going back down via Mist Trail would be rough. It’s so steep with so many people coming up. It’s best to do the loop. Going down was pretty simple. Not a ton to look at but beautiful anyway. On the way back to the trailhead just after the footbridge, rookie hikers and families were completely unprepared for what they were about to encounter. If you’re doing what we did it’s about 7-7.5 miles depending on where you park. Bring water, food, hiking sticks and proper hiking shoes for Gs sake. Crocs are not appropriate. It’s a great hike so if you’re prepared and willing, it’s completely worth it. We took our time. Ate, took pictures and laughed a lot. We were back in our car by 11:45am.
翻译:沿着迷雾小径徒步前往春天瀑布和内华达瀑布。把车停在快乐岛路旁。早上 5:48 到达那里,停车场已占 30%。早上 5:53 开始徒步旅行。到小径起点有 0.6 英里的路程。一旦开始徒步旅行,到人行天桥的路程并不容易。需要爬坡并且很陡峭。不过路是铺好的,所以感觉不错。到春天瀑布的人行天桥大约 0.8 英里,你需要爬很多楼梯。天桥很陡峭而且相当费力。不过即使你的体能不太好,也是完全可以应付的。景色很美,这使得徒步旅行的速度变慢,而且真的不是太难,因为你可以环顾四周并拍照。作为一个家庭,我们所有人的身体都很好,所以这并不可怕。很难,是的。费力,不是。一旦我们到达山顶,我们就直接上到了内华达瀑布。肯定很费力。多休息一下,欣赏一下风景,其实还不错。有些地方确实很陡峭。脚步就像任何其他徒步旅行一样。有些地方不平整,但总体来说还不错。内华达瀑布的顶部很美。你可以拍到自由帽和半圆顶的绝佳照片。我们停下来吃了午饭。我们就在这里经由约翰缪尔小径下山去克拉克角。我们上山了 2100 英尺,这意味着你必须下山 2100 英尺。在我看来,下山很糟糕。经由约翰缪尔小径这条路走是一个环路。经由雾中小径返回会很艰难。这么多人上山,路很陡峭。最好是绕一圈。下山很简单。没什么可看的,但很美。在刚过人行天桥返回小径起点的路上,新手徒步旅行者和家庭对即将遇到的情况完全没有准备。如果你像我们一样,路程大约7-7.5英里,具体取决于你停车的地方。为了G点,记得带上水、食物、登山杖和合适的登山鞋。Crocs不太合适。这是一次很棒的徒步旅行,所以如果你准备充分,愿意尝试,绝对值得。我们花了不少时间。吃了东西,拍了照片,笑了很多。上午11:45我们就回到了车上。
