Trek to Vernal Falls

Here is the view from the top of the vernal falls. Per FITBIT dashboard, we have walked about 13000 steps, and scaled about 102 floors, to get to the top of the vernal falls, and return back to the shuttle stop.  If you see the far end of the bottom of the falls, you will get an idea of what we experienced during the entire trek. This trek is called as mist trail, as trekkers experience intense mist, along the route, and gets drenched to the max, at bottom of the falls.

It takes another 30 minutes to go to the top once we reach the bottom of the falls, which requires scaling the slippery rocks.  However, when we reached the top, we got soaked with lots of sunshine and dried up in few minutes.
