I wholeheartedly agree with the message at the end and your choice not to vlog at the site but to fully take in the scene without the distraction of trying to make the perfect video. I took one Yosemite high country backpacking trip without a camera on purpose, though I did have a journal to record thoughts and make drawings. It connected me with the landscape in a more direct and personal way. It would be helpful to know the month of your trip rather than the day it was posted, to time when it had that volume. Also, you state only that you camped above the top of the falls. By the looks of it, you left the trail to the summit of Eagle Peak, the highest of the Three Brothers rock formation, going east to another slightly lower unnamed rock summit that I have never visited. You cannot see the entire upper fall from the summit of Eagle Peak, just the top where the water leaps out, but some careful wandering around that upland would take one to the view down to the upper fall that you highlight here. John Muir said that Eagle Peak was his favorite Yosemite view. I suppose your campsite might be included, in that it is only a thousand feet or so away from the top, so no doubt Muir scrambled around there too. I can't tell if you are on top of the lower dome or went down the ridge a ways to get your viewpoint. These are the first pictures I have seen of that particular angle on Yosemite Falls. Thank you for posting them. For visitors who don't have the energy to climb 3,500 feet up from the Valley floor, there is an unparalleled view of the entire Yosemite Falls at the end of a hundred-foot spur trail that takes off from the main trail to the top of the falls right before you turn the corner to see the Upper Fall for the first time. Most hikers pass by this spot without noticing the fork. There is a metal safety railing there at the end of the fork that is essential, as you are at the top of a cliff looking right down at the Lower Fall. There is a direct view to the Upper Fall, and the Middle Cascades are arrayed in between. It is the most complete view of the entire Yosemite Falls, and close as well. Emerging from the trees as one arrives at this viewpoint is so mind-blowingly awesome that the overlook has been dubbed "Oh-My-Gosh Viewpoint".
So glad you got to enjoy these moments, and thank you for sharing them with us! Absolutely beautiful 😍
Great advice! Vlogging while travel can make you focus on the work rather than the experience! Amazing shots. 😍 Keep up the amazing work!
