The snow and rain had fallen pretty hard over the Sierra Nevada mountains and National Forest last winter. So even as late as may, there was still snow up to 10 inches in some areas of the park. This meant the water volume from the falls was high. we were excited to take the short hike to the bottom of... More

Many find this hike to be strenuous and I would agree in elevation gain but it is doable for many novice hikers as well. A lot of switch... More
