The Trail of the Yosemite Valley

There are over 100 different trails with Yosemite National Park. With a third being in the Valley. As of now, have broken down four trails. I am hoping in the future, I will be able to do more trails within the Valley and eventually do trails in the high country and Tuolumne Meadows.

vernal fall
Mist Trail
This very popular hike originates near Happy Isles in eastern Yosemite Valley (shuttle stop #16). The John Muir and Mist Trails offer spectacular, up-close views of two large waterfalls, enjoyable scenery along the Merced River, and unique views across Yosemite Valley.
Bridalveil Fall
Bridalveil Fall
Bridalveil Fall is often the first waterfall you'll see when entering Yosemite Valley. In spring, it thunders; during the rest of the year, look for its characteristic light, swaying flow.
Yosemite Falls
Lower Yosemite Fall Trail
Part of North America's tallest waterfall, Lower Yosemite Fall is the final 320-foot (98-meter) drop. Deafening in spring and early summer when the waterfall peaks in volume, you can expect to get sprayed with water when standing on the footbridge near its base. This short, easy walk rewards with spectacular views of both Upper and Lower Yosemite Falls.
Mirror Lake
Mirror Lake Trail Trail
Mirror Lake has little water much of the year and, while pleasant at any time of year, it is fullest in spring and early summer, when Tenaya Creek flows freely with fresh snowmelt. When water is calm, the lake offers beautiful reflections of surrounding cliffs.
