WOW! We went higher, and saw this...


And this!


By now, we were feeling the mist from the falls. In fact, it wasn't just mist. We were getting a nice cool shower. It was VERY refreshing after that long, tiresome hike. We were now determined to get to the top. Just the site of Vernal Falls, the mist, the beauty of it all made it ALL worth it.

Up, up, up we went!


My poor camera lens got soaked! We went through these rocks...


And again, saw a sight that left us in awe.


And now, we were this high.


We kept on going...


And the beauty just motivated us to continue...


And...WE MADE IT!!!
