Waterfalls of Yosemite

Some spring waterfalls in Yosemite.

Nice. When I was there, I think I camped at the top of the falls shown in the last 3 shots... same time of year, but there'd been a drought and it was not so full as it is in those shots. There's a switchback trail that crosses the falls in some places where the water is dropping so far it's just a sort of mist.

Really nice up there- no tent or anything, just laid out in my sleeping bag on the rocks. I awoke in the middle of the night thinking a ranger was shining a flashlight in my face... it was the moon, with a gazillion brilliant stars all around. Unforgettable.

I want to do that so bad, I love camping (considering I have to do it a lot with the Marines haha)

The last waterfall is Upper Yosemite Falls.  If my wife wasn't expecting I would have taken her up there but she can only get so far, so maybe next year we can take the trail and see what's up there.

The waterfall in the first shot (Bridal Veil Falls) was really dumping water and you can take a trail almost to the bottom of it and get soaked by by the overspray.  I wouldn't want to stand directly under though, it was making some extremely loud claps as surges of water hit the bottom, very powerful!
