First stop of the trip was Bridalveil Falls. The parking lot is a short drive from the park entrance, and the vista point just is a short walk from the parking lot. It is the perfect spot for those who want to get their feet wet for Yosemite valley.

It was relatively late in the year, and the water was not at its fullest. We decided not to climb up onto the rocks to get to the pool at the base of the falls. They say if you can stare into the mist for more than a minute, you will get married within a year. There wasn't any mist where we were standing, so did not have a chance to test that.
