This is my favorite falls at Yosemite. I don't know if I could get up there any more with my bad knees, but I think I'd give it a try if I ever got back there. Thanks for showing this to me! #7409960

Thank you everybody for your kind comments! My wife couldn't make it to the top of the fall. For her, it was the Missed Trail. LOL #7412048
