Yosemite Waterfalls Hike - Lifetime Memories

5.00When we booked the Yosemite Valley waterfalls hike we did so to make our lives easier. Our goal was to find a knowledgeable person to help us navigate around the crowds so we could focus our time on the really special or spectacular falls. We were not disappointed. Gabe, our host and tour guide, exceeded all our expectations for the day. He discussed our interest and desires for the day (we wanted to hike to Vernal and Nevada falls) and then customized a tour throughout the Valley allowing us to see all ten waterfalls. With his knowledge of the trails around Yosemite he routed us around the crowded trails, took us to spectacular view points that only the “locals” know about and shared with us his vast knowledge of the Valley and surrounding hikes. The hike to Vernal and Nevada falls was a little on the strenuous side but he was able to help us set a pace that allowed us to reach all our goals for the day. The mist trail was fantastic (even if we got a little wet), but seeing the Vernal and Nevada falls up close was unforgettable especially given the heavy spring flow rates. We love visiting National Parks and we have many great memories but the day spent with Gabe visiting all the waterfalls will forever remain one of our most fond memories. We have already started recommending the tour to our family and friends. It is a memory that will stay with us for a lifetime.
