Nevada Falls - California Waterfalls; Yosemite Natl. Park, Yosemite Village-hike/trail/map/directions

If you continue up past Vernal Falls another mile, you will reach the top of spectacular Nevada Falls. It is a difficult hike to the top, but it is well worth the effort. There are many rocky steps to climb up to the top. These two waterfalls still have lots of water flow even in the summer, unlike others in the park. Come back down the John Muir Trail from the top of Nevada for a little change of scenery, instead of going back down the Mist Trail.

The official height of Nevada Falls is 594 ft. by the National Park Service. However, if you look at USGS Topo map and Google Earth, it seems closer to 450 ft., so it is possible that the NPS official height is incorrect. I have not been able to measure it myself because I was not able to get a good reading due to too much mist.
