    Tips

    Hiking

    A few stone steps with metal railings lead to the view over the highest point of Yosemite Falls and the valley below. The perspective is unique: the waterfall thunders right next to you, plunging into the depths. It is particularly impressive in the spring during the snowmelt. However, it can be dry in the fall.

    Hiking

    Get plenty of water (2/3L) and wear hat. Trail is exposed to the sunlight and shades are rare. Hiking shoes are advised - trail is rocky.

    Hiking

    From here you can look straight into the abyss. Given the light breeze in the back, it seemed safer to lie down with my head over the edge. This is followed by a very nice descent to Yosemite Village.
