Upper Yosemite Falls from the valley with Yosemite Point to the rightSaturday our destination was the top of Yosemite Falls and Yosemite Point. It is a steep trail that ascends 3,600 feet and is about eleven miles round trip. After the first thousand feet every view is marvelous as you look down on the valley, over at Half Dome and go right by Yosemite Falls which is the highest waterfall in the US. As it crashes down it literally sounds like thunder or a glacier calving.

On our descent the sun hit the mist from the waterfall to create a brilliant rainbow.
The rainbow spreads over the lower part of this photo.
We stopped for a photo from the Tunnel View on our drive back to our apartment. Bridal Veil Falls is on the right. El Capitan is on the left and Half Dome is in the middle.
