The Upper Yosemite Falls trail is a workout, climbing 2750+ feet over 2.5 miles from the valley floor to the top of the falls. The trail begins climbing immediately as you traverse numerous switchbacks up the side of the mountain through rocky, forest terrain. As the trail levels off and you circle the mountain, the forest cover begins to thin out, giving you views of the valley and the falls. Then, more climbing begins as you circle and scale the backside of the mountain and reach the falls from behind. In good weather, you’ll have views of the entire valley from the Upper Yosemite Falls overlook.
