YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, CA - - We hiked to the top of Nevada Falls on Saturday. Mist trail (above) gets its name from the swirling mist which drenches hikers, makes the natural rock steps/trail wet and slick and, when viewed from above, produces a nice rainbow. Four years ago we went down the trail...not the most fun thing to do.The power of the water cascading over Nevada falls and rushing downstream only to take another powerful and beautiful pitch from Vernal Falls (which produces the mist for Mist Trail) never ceases amaze. The shot below, with a small rainbow, shows the power and turbulence in frothy display....a perfect reason why no swimming is allowed. FYI: More people are killed by drowning than anything else in Yosemite.
