Above Vernal Falls

Above Vernal Falls, originally uploaded by Robbi Baba.

This was probably my favorite spot. It was a monster climb to get up there (at least for me), but it was so beautiful. I sat in the spray of the little waterfall, letting the spray mist me while I ate lunch.
The river turned into a water slide over the smooth granite surface, and I'm sure I'm not the only one wanting to strip down and splash into the Emerald Pool that feeds Vernal Falls.
My friend Jason read that most of the park fatalities are from people accidentally going over the falls. Oops.
