Vernal and Nevada Fall Hike: Yosemite NP

The first part until the bridge, where you can see Vernal Fall, is paved and very easy. From the bridge until the bottom of Vernal Fall, it starts going up, but the steepest part, is the end, you have a lot of stairs to climb. To go to the top of Nevada Fall is the same difficulty, there are not as many stairs at the end, but switchbacks. You have the choice of going the same way back, or you can take the John Muir Trail back, this trail is longer, but not as steep.
