Vernal Falls

Try to visit on a weekday if you can. The weekends are packed, and I really enjoyed the peacefulness on a Tuesday. It made the views that much more enjoyable.

Get there early, like 7 AM – the crowds are way lighter and you get great photo opportunities without too many people in the shot. Plus, the morning light is beautiful!
Yosemite Falls
Bridalveil Falls

My advice is to wear proper shoes. I wore flip-flops and regretted it as the trail can be a bit slippery. Trust me, your feet will thank you later!

I really think you should aim to get there before 10 AM to beat the crowds. I went late morning, and it was packed! Getting those clear shots of the falls is so much easier when it’s less busy.
I recommend taking the short trail to the base; it's stunning! But be prepare for the mist! I wish I had brought a waterproof jacket or at least a poncho to stay dry while enjoying the view
McWay Falls

Bring a good camera and some snacks. The views are stunning, and you'll want to relax and soak it all in while you munch on your food.

Check the weather ahead of time; it can get foggy. If it's clear, you'll get the best views and photos. A cloudy day really hides the magic!

Don’t forget to wear good shoes! The path can be a little uneven and slippery, so comfortable footwear is a must.
Nevada Fall

I suggest wearing good hiking boots. I wore regular sneakers and regretted it halfway up. Your feet will thank you!

Bring plenty of water and snacks. The hike can be more intense than you think, and it’s not fun being parched or hungry on the way up!

Check the weather before you go. I got caught in the rain, and it made the trail slippery and a bit scary. Always plan ahead.
Rainbow Falls

i suggest hitting the trail early, like around 7 am, to snag parking easily and beat the crowds – trust me, it gets packed!
Wapama Falls

I suggest getting there early, like around 8 AM. It gets crowded and you want to snap some pics without all the people photobombing your shots! Plus, the light in the morning makes the falls look awesome.

My advice is to wear good shoes. The trail can get a bit muddy and slippery, so don’t make the mistake I did by wearing flip-flops. It’ll save you from a pretty uncomfortable hike.
