- Hiking a bursting Yosemite National Park waterfall during peak snow melt in June of 2023, California, after the record setting snow year in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Recorded snow levels exceeded 221% of the normal winter snow volume. Chilnualna Falls in Yosemite is know for its impressive beauty and scenic surroundings. Chilnualna Falls is one of the parks longest waterfalls, cascading down a total of 690 feet (210 meters) in a series of steps and cascades. It is located in the southern region of the park, near the Wawona area. This hike is known to be challenging and strenuous, requiring good physical fitness and proper preparation. Be mindful of rushing / raging water if attempting this hike as it is easy to slip in to the fast moving water.

Nice to see the family hiked together.
Awesome hike! The little man is keeping you in backpacking shape! Thanks for sharing. Epic year!🌻
Haha he’s much heavier than my entire backpacking kit!
@@Sheety33 Perfect! 💪
I believe that the plant with the fern type leaves and strong smell is Mountain Misery. I camped in a forest once with it covering the ground. It was not in bloom but the woods smelled amazing to me. I guessed the smell was coming from it as the only other plant was Ponderosa and they don't smell like that. Since I didn't know what it was, I didn't touch it. Later, I asked some locals about it and they told me what it was. When I asked if it got its name because it caused allergic reactions like poison oak, they said no, that it got its name for its smell as it's offensive to some. I thought it smelled great! Thanks for the video. Good to see you all back on the trail.
Mountain Misery! Thank you!! Smelled great to us!
An "it doesn't get much better than this" day-hike in Yosemite in June with Wifey & Jr ! ! ! 😀 TY 🙏

.a cool video keep up the great content.. Thank you…
Thank you!
@@Sheety33 Thank you very mutch... have a nice start of the Week.... see you….
Great video! Love that trail. Those plants were bear clover that you were asking about. They're all over that trail. That baby is gonna grow up to be a sherpa 😂😂
Thank you! Not called Mountain Misery?
@Sheety33 I just looked it up and I guess it goes by both names. I've always just known it as bear clover. I learn something new everyday. 😀 Mountain misery sounds so dark for such a beautiful fragrant plant.
Cool video bro you did a great job 👍👍
Amazing baby gear … you guys are fantastic for showing us this. What kind of hoodie are you wearing ?
Awesome hike. Absolutely beautiful.
What type/ brand of your self stick?
Is that the north face wanderer hoody?
Hey there- This is a long shot but were you hiking in this area on 7/2/2023? My cousin (Hayden Klemenok) is a missing person in Yosemite and he slipped, falling into the Chilnualna Creek then got carried away with the strong current. His accident happened on 7/2/2023.
No I was not - sorry to hear about your cousin.
