I love the mist trail, but if I had really captured the mist, you all would be wet... Ha. But seriously, if you ever go to Yosemite, and only have a short time, besides the obligatory walk out to lower Yosemite falls, the hike to Vernal through the Mist trail is the one thing you should do. You don't even have to go all the way to the top of the falls. Most falls don't look too good from the top. Just watch the water disappear over a cliff. Just go through the mist and enjoy the cooling down you get.
