Yosemite Falls

After lunch we took the free shuttle to Yosemite Falls (red line on map). The first bus took us from the Day-Use Parking area to the Visitor Center. A second bus took us to Yosemite Falls. The buses run about every 15 minutes but we only had to wait a few minutes. The crowds and limited parking make using the shuttle bus the best deal for getting from place to place in the valley.

At Yosemite Falls we walked up a path with views of the Upper and Lower Yosemite Falls to a bridge below the Lower Falls (blue line on map). I hiked a short distance toward the falls alongside the stream for a better view. We then walked down a different route back to the road and took the shuttle bus back to the car.
