What To Expect

Vernal Fall

Beginning at Happy Isles in the eastern end of Yosemite Valley, our trail climbs above the cataracts and rapids of the Merced River to a bridge over the river with excellent views of 317 ft. tall Vernal Fall.

Mist Trail

The next half mile is where the Mist Trail earns its name. Steep and slick, the trail ascends a virtual granite stairway through the thundering mist of Vernal Fall. In spring and early summer rain gear is recommended.

Daniel, our guide was great! He was so in touch with the park, its history and culture! Knowing when a group needs a few minutes to rest is so important and hiking with a senior, Daniel made sure. I thought the entire event was great. Backpacks were lent out for carrying items, but snacks and an awesome lunch were provided so there was little need for everyone to take one. We’re looking forward to the next adventure and will definitely follow Wildland Trekking for availability

The hike to Vernal and Nevada Falls was spectacular in November. It is a long hike and it gets steep at the end, but the effort is totally rewarded by the astounding view of the falls in the winter landscape and the snowcap peaks.

My son Matt and I had an incredible experience doing the Half Dome / Yosemite trip with WT and in particular, Austin, our guide. Austin made what is naturally a great adventure in to a trip that neither Matt or I will forget nor say enough good things about! I'm already looking into which trip is next. Many thanks to the WT team!
