- Upper Yosemite Falls - Yosemite National Park - Full Hike
Keep Moving as we venture through Yosemite National Park and explore one of the best hikes in Yosemite NP.
We'll journey through about 4.5 miles oneway in this virtual hike as we travel along the Upper Yosemite Falls Trail. See the amazing views of Yosemite National Park, Yosemite Lodge, and Half Dome as we make our way to the top of the falls, about 3.5 miles to this point. We'll continue the journey for another mile along Yosemite Point Trail. The trip will end at the top of Yosemite Point where you can see jaw dropping views of Half Dome.
This is an extremely strenuous hike with over 3,500' of elevation gain. Make sure to bring lots of water and snacks!
This hike and video were completed on July 4, 2020.
Video from: Upper Yosemite Falls, Yosemite National Park, CA, USA
Video type: virtual hike video
Enjoy the video to experience and connect with nature, plan and view the hike, or for your own enjoyment. And remember no matter where you're at KEEP MOVING!!

If you put this list in your video description, it will automatically add "chapter" markers to your video timeline. Well done, by the way. We seem to have similar goals of providing raw, natural film as if the hiker was there in our shoes.
One of the best hiking videos on UA-cam! Thank you for your time and effort to produce such an amazing video. It's unbelievable how you could capture such a steady video on a rocky path. Some of the hiking videos out there make you dizzy because they keep switching camera angles every minute. It's a great video for treadmill meditation or mind wandering.
Thank you for the kind words!! I’m here to share all these amazing hikes with everyone. I’m glad you got to enjoy the video. Thank the GoPro! The camera captures amazing footage.
Loved everything about your video. Thanks for doing this.
I enjoyed the hike with you. I did that hike probably over 30 years ago - in my younger years. I am 71 now. I moved to Washington State to be close to my grandchildren. Yosemite has always been a favorite for me. I have been up Half Dome twice - the last time for my 50th birthday. Now after 2 hip replacements i still am hiking but not quite up to my old abilities and too far away to easily get to Yosemite. I snowshoed this morning for 3 miles and then walked this trail with you on my mini trampoline - not uphill like you but at least for some of the mileage ;-) Well done, and I love the scenery. Washington has beauty but not the sheer granite that makes up the walls of Yosemite. I have done that hike years ago to the top of the Falls but went no further. Lovely pools above - but maybe not so secret anymore. Thank you. Will do more of your hikes when it is rainy and the snow is slushy here.
WOW thanks for the support and i'm glad you enjoyed the video. These videos are made for people like you. Yosemite is my favorite park and every time i visit, i wish i had more time to explore. I wasn't able to win the Half Dome lottery this past year but hoping to win it next this year and upload a video, so stay tuned for that. Enjoy Washington! it's very beautiful out there and lots of amazing parks too! Cheers and always Keep Moving!
I really enjoyed this. Thanks so much for posting it. There are a lot of hikes out there being posted that have been condensed down to 5 or 10 minutes. 5 or10 minutes just doesn't do justice to a hike like this, so it was nice to see the full hike. Haven't been to Yosemite in 40 years or so. This brought back a lot of great memories. Keep up the good work!
I’m glad you enjoyed it! I wanted to do something different and give viewers a full experience of the hike. Wow 40 years ago! Yosemite must have been a little bit different. Hope you get to visit soon.
First virtual walk I've watched of yours. I love it. I like videos with ambient sounds, no music, and a minimum of talking. Another thing I love is continuity. I don't mind if a hiker stops and rests and turns off the camera, but I hate it when they stop every two seconds and then when the video resumes they are somewhere else. The latter spoils the feeling that the viewer is there hiking with you. This is a beautiful and interesting hike, and I had the satisfaction of turning every corner with you and wondering what was ahead. Great job!
Thank you for the kind words!!! I wanted to try and capture the full experience of hiking these trails. Not everyone is able to make it out but that shouldn’t keep them from seeing and enjoying them.
Amazing virtual walk videos 😍
Came back to it today! Happy and healthy New Year!
Let’s go! 💪🏽
I hiked Yosemite Falls in 1969. I was I good shape then, but there is no way I could have kept up your pace. Kudos!!! I lived in Yosemite for 30 years, mostly working in the High Vamos and Wawona. It still calls to my heart.
Thank you! People say I have a fast pace lol but the faster you go the quicker the pain ends. Living in Yosemite must have been amazing! I wish I was closer so I could visit more often. I’m glad you got to enjoy the hike and hope the video inspires you to visit soon
It was. It was before all the restrictions and you could still drone in Yosemite Village. Greatest climbing in the world!
I feel so much like I've been there now. We were scheduled to visit 4 years ago and Dad had a heart attack the Friday before we were to leave.
Some day I will go there but your video makes me feel like I've already been.
When you looked over the edge at the trails end my wife and I were leaning away from our big screen tv😅
Thank you very much for your efforts.
Hope your Dad is doing well and you get to visit Yosemite soon. It's a beautiful park with lots of amazing trails and views! A must see for everyone.
Thank you. Yes he doing well.
We are going to Yellowstone in July.
Im excited.
My walking machine + This video = Wonderful time...... And it's the first time I pass so many people while hiking! Thank you so much!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Lots of more awesome hikes coming so you can keep passing people lol
I just loved this video. I am using videos like this for my treadmill walking and love that it was a complete hike and very well shot. It brought back a lot of memories from years ago. Thank you.
Thanks for watching! Most of my hiking videos are complete hikes. Glad you got to enjoy it and that it brought back memories.
Loved this hike. Walked along on my treadmill over a few days.thanks so much for making the video. Been to Yosemite once and want my ashes scattered there when I die.
Glad you enjoyed it! I hope you get to visit Yosemite again soon. I got some really cool winter Yosemite hikes coming soon
I barely do cardio because I abhorre the stationary machines and my country is too unsafe to actually go out like this. I just came back from a road trip through a couple of California's national parks, including Yosemite, and I fell in love with the place. Maybe with this video, I'll get in better shape for when I go back.
Gosh I miss this trail. One of the very first physically demanding trails Ive ever hiked, the elevation climb, myriad of exposed switch backs were a killer, especially during the summer. Getting up to the top was like a whole another world, absolutely stunning overlook of the valley. I remember the day I hiked this trail, pieces of the mountain broke off after a thundering sound. Cant wait to revisit this pool
Hey Steven, this hike is no joke. A lot of trails at Yosemite are physically demanding but way worth it once you make it to the top. I was sweating the whole time up but got to enjoy the pool at the end and cool off. Hope you get to visit Yosemite soon. My plan next time is to continue hiking up to El Capitan and North Dome
Thank you for doing this hike, I used to guide horse rides up that trail 3 times a week in the 80s and 90s. sorry to see the trail in such disrepair though
.
That is awesome! Taking a horse up sure beats hiking up lol. Glad you got to enjoy and view the trail from a different perspective. Any other trails you used to guide?
@@KeepMovingHikingChannel, Yes I guided people on horses and mules in Yosemite, and packed supplies to the high camps, Sunrise high camp was my favorite packing run, when I was guiding I did the 4 mile trail to the top of glacier point many times as well as Half dome, we would stop at quarter dome and let the people hike the rest of the way to the top, I also guided from Tuolumne meadows stables to Lyle canyon and to many other places in Yosemite via the many trails there. I guided and packed Yosemite trails for 10 seasons.. I was also going to say that you are a beast of a hiker! with a few short rests to enjoy the views, good job!
You are great handle the camera 🎥 stay still and focus when the view need to enjoy,thank you for this journey thums up
Glad you enjoyed the hike!
Thanks for posting this
My pleasure! This is a tough hike but the views are worth the pain lol
Tu vídeo es ESPECTACULAR 😍
Gracias! Has visitado Yosemite?
Cool hike stunning views its nice you walking steady with the camera I have seen other videos on hiking where some walked to fast so its nice you took the time.
Awesome thank you! I gotta give credit to my GoPro, it has built in stabilizer now for less shaky videos. Yosemite is my favorite NP, there are stunning views everywhere you go
Thank you taking us on the walk with you, I enjoyed watching it, people aren't very friendly in that park,
I’m glad you enjoyed the hike! This was during COVID restrictions so people weren’t as friendly lol
Really enjoyed taking this virtual hike. Just amazing!
thanks for the support! if you have a hikes you'd like to see next feel free to comment them
In Yosemite there’s a really nice primitive campground, Tamarack, that has a off trail hike to a place the rangers names Devils Danceground. The views are amazing. The original road into the valley is along a trail out of the campground and it links up with the trail taking you to the top of El Capitan.
Don’t know if you want to do multi day backpacking, but in Kings Canyon, at the end of Roads End you can access the Kings Canyon loop. This will take you up to the JMT/PCT past Raes Lakes, over Glens Pass and then back down to the start. This has some of the most amazing scenery I’ve ever seen. I’m sure in that area there are many options for day hikes as well.
@@elysemillson726 thanks for the great recommendations. i'll have to add them to my list of hikes and try them out next time in Yosemite or Kings Canyon
You should totally do the 4 Mile Trail
Thanks for the recommendation! I'll be visiting Yosemite in 2 weeks and I'll add this to my hiking plan.
I watch without skiping 😘
thanks for watching! appreciate your support and more videos coming to watch
nice to know it's still there
@@davesimard5654 Still there! Definitely worth the hike
Great video. You only need to chose the best time and weather to record the video. It's so sunny, there's no that atmosphere of Woods and those kinda things, keep it going, kee moving
Thanks for watching! Will keep that in mind to get more awesome footage
183rd friend. This hike is one of the beautiful and hard hikes in YNP. Thanks for sharing. glad to connect with you.
The more friends the merrier! Glad you enjoyed the video and happy to connect with you too. I love this hike and you cant beat those views of Half Dome! I'll be going back this June but hiking to the top of El Capitan, wish me luck lol
@@KeepMovingHikingChannel I’m local to Yosemite. Never knew there was a trail to the top of El Cap. Awesome! Don’t know if you did this hike yet, but hit me up if you need local assistance.
@@forensicphd i'm hoping to hike that trail this summer! will upload the video once i do. Awesome, if i ever need anything i'll make sure to reach out :) super lucky you have Yosemite as your backyard
The guy at 44:08 putting up his mask as you pass by... lol.
Lol 😂 you see some interesting things on the trail
A rugged hike ! 😅
와우. 요세미티의 바위도 과거 거대나무의 흔적이구나.
What camera/gear did you use to film this? I love it! Going on this hike on July 4th this summer.
I just use my gopro hero8 and the hand grip. This is one of my favorite hikes in Yosemite and a must in summer to enjoy the water and cool off
@@KeepMovingHikingChannel it must have been really tiring to use the hand grip. I bought a harness but the footage comes out way too shaky. Also, the gopro hero8 comes with built-in stabilization features so I'm sure that really helped. Thanks for sharing this video!
@@hugomunoz5668 i don't mind using the hand grip. I have a chest mount that works too. They sell gimbals that help with stabilizing but i found they cause too much noise interference with the gopro (maybe because the hero8 has it's own built in stabilization)
I've yet to make it to the top. One day.
I believe in you! One day! just take your time and go at your own pace and you’ll be there in no time! You got this!
@@KeepMovingHikingChannel 🙌🏻
The video after 1:59 minutes looks like it's above a waterfall... How many meters above sea level?
At 1:39:45 the trail splits. You go right to the waterfall or continue straight to Yosemite Point. I forgot to record leaving the waterfall and continuing up so there is a 5 minute jump in the hike. At the trail split, you’re at 6500ft (1981 m). Yosemite point is about a mile (1.6 km) more and an additional 500ft (150 m) of elevation gain.
What were those booming sounds at the beginning of the video?
there was a crew doing tree cutting and that was the sound of a tree falling. those booming sounds surprised me! i thought it was an explosion but nope, just a tree.
@@KeepMovingHikingChannel Thank you for the explanation.
I wonder what your Heart rate registers, at the pase you keep. Probably at least 230??
Maybe even higher lol. I’m the crazy guy huffing and puffing on by lol
Man what id do to be ranger up there
Same! Thought about becoming a ranger for a long time.
nice...visiting in august how was the covid restrictions there, are all trail available for hike...
This was recorded almost a year ago and no restrictions were in place. But if you’re visiting Yosemite in August, they are now doing a required day use reservation. For the month of August, reservations open up on May 5th.
