Yosemite Fall, Middle Cascades, and Upper Yosemite Fall, Sunnyside Bench Trail ( #1 )

I knew the hike along the Sunnyside Bench trail would be worth it, with good views of Yosemite valley and falls. But I had NO idea it would be as good as it turned out. As you can see you can get VERY close to the top of Lower Yosemite Fall. Suicidally close I'd say! This is a spot that at the time I thought was the farthest down/close I could safely get down. As you can see the rock slabs are steep, and this isn't a place you'd want to slip. Fortunately the rock was dry, I shudder to think what it'd be like here with everything wet. Later on I found a spot a bit farther down, check out video #4 in this series.
