If you're coming to Yosemite, the Mist Trail is a must-do. We happened to be here in a record-setting year with the snowmelt so Nevada and Vernal Falls were both raging into the Merced River. Hope you enjoy our full loop hike in this video.
We just camped in Yosemite a few weeks ago, stayed at Lower Pines Campground. Hiked Mist Trails with our kids, ages 7, 9, and 1….we absolutely loved it.
What a wonderful experience you all had, Nancy! Thank you for sharing. Excited to get back out there because next time we will be backpacking so the adventure level is going to elevate. We are excited! Lower Pines looks like a great little spot in the Valley. The kids had to of loved thee Mist Trail!
I lived in Yosemite valley for 1 year. It’s so beautiful in summer but the winters will take your breath away! It’s like another world. ❤❤❤
What. an incredible experience you got to live, Robin! I have yet to see Yosemite in the winter, but having been there twice now, every single time, it just hits different. Can't wait to go back! ❤
❤❤❤Thank you!
A wonderful hike. You folks did it in one of the wettest years ever. Still, they don't call it the Mist Trail for nothing. I'm 70 years old now and not crazy about all the stone steps. So I take the John Muir Trail when I can.
Happy to hear you enjoyed this video! Definitely a lot of stone steps up this one. Would love to do the entire John Muir Trail one day. 😍 Keep gettin' out there!
I love all your hikes but I think this is my favorite. We went a little past the foot bridge and turned around. It was raging when we went but nothing like this. How amazing to see the falls raging like that. Definitely something you won’t forget.
Thank you, Melody! We loved this one. We were incredibly grateful to experience the trail the way it was that day. Water was gushing everywhere and it made the adventure surreal. One of our top hikes ever!
You guys went to Yosemite at a really good time because I noticed there way less people compared to when I went to Yosemite in late June .
Thank you, Donnie! It's always good to go to Yosemite right before Memorial Day in my opinion OR September - October. June and July are a mess because it becomes touristy, especially if you're not backpacking or doing the adventures that require you to go more into the backcountry of Yosemite. That being said, if you get to the park early in the morning (I'm talk 5:30 - 7:00 a.m.) you'll have a lot more peaceful time because you'll have a huge head start. Plus, another recommendation I would say is do the more popular adventures on week days. 😊 Hope this helps!
Such an epic adventure my love!! One of my faves! 😍😍
Definitely an awesome adventure for us, my love! Freaking awesome we got to do this during a record snowfall year! 😍
it's not busy anymore? seems like ya were the only ones on the trail.. going in two weeks.. waterproof boots are a must?@@JamieMcCracken
I'm not sure about current conditions but it's usually less packed in the mornings (start hiking this thing around 7 a.m.; you will practically be alone) and in the fall (late September - November) so you should be good to go. Those are my tips. Happy you enjoyed the video. It's an epic hike! :) @@IamLEGENDkb24
Beautiful place 😍
Yosemite is a beauty! 😍
I just did this hike today it was raging
That’s freaking awesome!! Glad you got a similar experience! That trail is flat out amazing! 🤩
What date was this? We will be in Yosemite this Sunday September 17. Online it says the trail is closed.
Hi Gina! So the part that's closed is the section where you see Lala and I go through the gate and we talk about how the trail splits. If you get there before 7 a.m. you'll be fine, but once it's 7 a.m., they close it off because they are working on the trail. That's only Monday - Friday so if you hike it on a Saturday or Sunday, then you're good any time. Hope this helps! Happy you enjoyed the video. ❤
Thanks! We arrive the 17th and leave the 23rd. Will be hiking Monday- Friday. Our hotel (Tenaya) is one mile from the south entrance. Really want to attempt this hike.
When was this hike?
That'll be a great time! We stayed at an Airbnb in Coursegold so we had a good bit of a drive each day but loved it because we could easily go into town and have a chill day from all the physical exhaustion we put ourselves through during the week. You should check out the entire Yosemite video I did a couple months ago. We went in late May. You all got it good because Glacier Road is open now after they have re-done the road. Highly suggest the Taft Point hike. It's epic up there.@@ginafrechette8184
