An April hike to the top. I've probably hiked over 150 miles on Yosemite trails and understand even dry trails can be crazy-slick, and I try to be careful, but this time almost got the best of me.

  • I've gotten as far as where you are at 1.30, but I've always gone in June, haven't made it in winter/spring yet :P Gonna make it to the top one of these days!!!

  • @Author4Christ I'm not sure this was the best time to head up to the top, the trail turned all snow toward the top and I slid many times on the way down. June should be a good time. Late summer and fall is good if you don't mind little or no water in the falls. Amazing experience either way! 

  • @kgthatsme yeah, parts of that trail are hard in June too. Did you get attacked by mosquitoes at all? We seem to always get eaten on this hike :P I've been wanting to go in the fall for a long time but haven't made it yet :P

  • @Author4Christ No mosquitos at all that I could tell, and I'm usually the first to get bit. Fall is a beautiful time, as long as people know the trail in dry seasons is plenty slippery with its polished rocks.

  • @mrstuperstefan Just imagine how it was on my 5 day, 50 mile backpacking trip in Yosemite and not seeing a single hiker for 3 of those days way out there. Loved it!

  • @kgthatsme Like the beach. Same thing. You've got the place to yourself. I am an ANTITOURIST

  • @mrstuperstefan No doubt about it! And what kind of sign was it to slip and fall on a trail I've been down 5 times already? Not sure what to make of that one. I just don't think that'll stop me from going back. I do like the slow seasons there. You almost get the valley to yourself.

  • @ghiatool One day... you gotta try heading up there.

  • That place is a pure religous experience. Luuuucky!

    Great shots too. I went in Feb once and the place was a ghost town!

  • Great video, The falls look incredible! So glad you made it down safely and not the express way down!!
