Yosemite: Illiloutte Fall from the Mist Trail

Just when I thought I'd seen all the falls in Yosemite Valley, I spotted Illiloutte Fall while on the Mist Trail.

The trail follows along the Merced River, swollen from the good snowfall in the winter.

Yosemite: Mist Trail

The last morning we were in the valley we hiked the Mist Trail. Our first view of Vernal Fall was from the bridge over the Merced River. Because of the good snowfall in the winter, the river was amazing.

The trail lived up to its name as we approached the fall. The infamous stone steps were very slippery so we did not continue around the bend. Even though I tried to keep my lens dry, it was nearly impossible.

There were rainbows galore from the mist.
