We still can't get to the body. We've even named it Bob. For those who heed the warnings, the Mist Trail is completely safe. The Mist Trail continues to Nevada Fall, which shoots 594 feet down a granite cliff. The whole hike, which departs from Happy Isles, takes a good six to eight hours.
Visitors can also follow the Vernal Fall-Clark Point Loop Trail, which runs for three miles.
The hike is strenuous, especially from the first bridge over the Merced River and up to Clarks Point, which is on the connector trail to the John Muir Trail. Off Route 41 in the park, a short trail leads from the Bridalveil Fall parking lot to the base of the cataract. As the sun sets, Bridalveil Fall picks up the golden colors on the water and surrounding rock. Vernal, Nevada, and Bridalveil Falls run all year long, though spring brings heavier waters. Though they're far less traveled, other falls line the Yosemite Valley, including Illilouette Fall off the John Muir Trail, and Horse Tail Fall on the side of El Capitan.
