This short and easy walk gives you nice views of Lower Yosemite Falls, the final drop in North America’s tallest waterfall (98 meters…or 320 feet for all you non-metric people).  The trail also gives some nice views of Upper Yosemite Falls and Yosemite Creek, so that’s a bonus. Otherwise, there’s not much to say about this trail. It nice. It’s fast. You may as well do it, especially if you’re already hiking Sentinal/Cook’s Meadow, which runs right by it. But I personally think the views of Lower Yosemite Falls are better from Cook’s Meadow.
