Here is a short video from our hike:
Hike Overview : Yosemite Falls hike is a 7.2 miles round trip, climbing 2700 ft. The trail is like a giant staircase, with steep stretches, numerous switchbacks, and some parts, very narrow with high steep drop-offs. The entire hike however is very rewarding, with amazing views everywhere.

** I apologize if there are not enough personal experience integrated in this post, as somehow, I am still in writing block, however, I feel like I should not stop sharing the pictures before they get too old and I feel too uninspired to share. I may come back to this post later to improve the writing when I am more inspired. Meantime, I hope pictures are enough to convey that Yosemite Falls hike is so much worth burning several thousands of calories. It's really worth the hike. I love it.**
