沿着大自然“巨人的阶梯”往上爬，在这里你将近距离地观赏到两个瀑布和众多的地质特征（取决于你选择往上爬多远）。在春季两个瀑布用它们强大湍急的水流将你浸泡在水雾中，它的魅力将让你全年回味无穷。

Trail Head
步道起始处的指示牌
All begin at:
Happy
Isles (shuttle stop #16)
This very popular hike originates near Happy
Isles in eastern Yosemite Valley (shuttle stop #16). The John Muir
and Mist Trails offer spectacular, up-close views of two large
waterfalls, enjoyable scenery along the Merced River, and unique
views across Yosemite Valley. This first paved mile of trail is
busiest and accesses the Vernal Fall Footbridge. Almost entirely
uphill, you can appreciate views along the way, and during spring,
when the water levels are at their peak, you can also glimpse
Illillouette Fall from this first section of trail.
起始点：快乐岛（班车站＃16）
这个非常流行的步道起始于快乐岛附近的东优胜美地山谷（十六号班车站）。约翰缪尔和雾中步道提供了壮观且近距离欣赏的两个大瀑布，沿默塞德河的美景和整个优胜美地山谷的独特景观。第一英里铺成的步道是最拥挤的，它通往Vernal瀑布的脚桥。一路几乎完全上坡，你可欣赏到沿途的美景。初春当水位达到鼎盛时，你也可以从这部分的步道上窥见到伊利路特（Illillouette）瀑布。

五月底的春天瀑布，步道几乎淹没在水雾之中
You'll find an excellent view of
Vernal Fall from the footbridge at 0.8 miles (1.3 km). About 0.2
miles (0.3 km) beyond the bridge, the Mist Trail and the John Muir
Trail diverge. To proceed directly to the top of Vernal Fall,
follow the Mist Trail 0.5 miles (0.8 km) up a steep granite
stairway of over 600 steps. Prepare for slippery footing and a
tremendous amount of waterfall spray in spring and early summer
(hence the name for this trail!). You will delight in views of
Vernal Fall all along this stretch of trail and may even be able to
see a rainbow in the spray of the fall. At the top of Vernal Fall,
you can experience jaw-dropping views straight down the length of
the 317-foot waterfall (please don't cross the railings and use
extreme caution while you're near any flowing water or wet rock in
this area).
在0.8英里位置的人行桥上你会发现Vernal瀑布的极佳景致。从人行桥再往前大约0.2英里，步道分为雾中步道(Mist
Trail)和约翰缪尔步道(John Muir
Trail)。从雾中步道走0.5英里，通过多达600多步陡峭的花岗岩楼梯可直接进入春天瀑布的顶部。来自瀑布的水雾使小径路面湿滑！尤其在春季和夏季，春天瀑布水量丰沛，飞溅的水雾弥漫笼罩小径，因而得名。最好是穿着防水和防晒的夹克。你会高兴的沿着这条段步道看到春天瀑布的不同形态，甚至有时可以在瀑布的喷雾中看到彩虹。在春天瀑布的顶部，你可以体验那令人瞠目结舌的直降317英尺的瀑布（请不要越过栏杆。当你靠近任何流动的水域或潮湿的岩石时要格外小心）。

From this point, you
can: choose to turn around and head back the way you came; continue
up to the next junction (about 0.2 miles / 0.3 km) and take the
longer route back via the John Muir Trail; or continue uphill on
the Mist Trail to the top of Nevada Fall. If you choose to continue
on the Mist Trail, shortly beyond Vernal Fall, you will pass by
Emerald Pool and Silver Apron. Both of these look may look inviting
on a hot summer’s day, but it is illegal and dangerous to swim here
due to the extremely hazardous current.
从春天瀑布的顶端，你可以选择转身反回到你来时的路或继续往上爬到下一个路口（约0.2英里/
0.3公里）。在那里可通过约翰缪尔步道走一段较长的路反回；或是继续上坡通过雾中步道到达内华达瀑布的顶部。如果你选择继续走雾中步道，那么通过春分瀑布后不久你会路过翡翠池和银围裙。在炎热的夏天它们看起来是很有吸引力的，但是因为湍急的水流，在这里游泳是危险和非法的。
Top of Nevada
Fall （内华达瀑布顶端）
Distance: 5.4 mi (8.7 km) round trip (via Mist
Trail)
Elevation gain: 2000 ft (610 m)
Difficulty: Strenuous
Time: 5-6 hours
You can also take the John Muir Trail to
the top of Vernal Fall (via the Clark Point cutoff) and the top of
Nevada Fall, or combine the Mist Trail and John Muir Trail into a
loop. See the map, profile, and description below for more
information.

Continuing along the Mist Trail, you’ll
experience another 1.5 miles (2.4 km) of steep, rocky switchbacks
in order to reach Nevada Fall. Crashing down 594 feet, this
thunderous waterfall is fullest in spring and early summer, and you
will find terrific photographic opportunities along this stretch of
trail. At the top of the climb, head right to reach the footbridge
that crosses the Merced River above the fall, allowing you a closer
view of it. Use extreme caution while you're near any flowing water
or wet rock in this area。
沿着雾中步道继续，你会通过一个1.5英里（2.4公里）陡峭且曲折的岩石布道到达内华达瀑布的顶端。这雷鸣般轰然而下594英尺的瀑布在春季和初夏达到最大，你会发现这条步道提供了极好的摄影机会。攀登到顶部，经直向跨越默塞德河并在瀑布上方的人行天桥，在那里你可以近距离观察内华达瀑布。在这个地区当你靠近任何流动的水域或潮湿的岩石时都要格外小心。

内华达瀑布顶部
From here, you can either return down the Mist Trail, or continue
over the bridge to the John Muir Trail for an alternate route back
to Yosemite Valley. If you choose the John Muir Trail, you will
enjoy different scenery, with great views of Liberty Cap and
different views of Nevada Fall. The John Muir Trail is
longer—approximately 4 miles one-way compared to the Mist Trail’s
2.5 miles (4 km)—so plan accordingly.
在这里，你可以返回雾中步道下来，或继续通过在桥另一边的约翰·缪尔步道回到优胜美地山谷。如果你选择了约翰·缪尔步道，你可享受到不同的风景，从另一个角度看到自由帽和内华达瀑布。约翰·缪尔径较长，约单向4英里，比较下雾中步道只有2.5英里（4公里）
- 所以你可做相应的计划。
一些徒步旅行者可能从内华达瀑布的顶部继续前行，到半屏丘或优胜美地的其它荒野。
Seasonality
（季节性）
You can hike to both waterfalls all year.
However, in winter, there is a
specific route that remains open while some sections of trail
are closed. The lower portion of the Mist Trail along Vernal Fall
closes in winter due to risk of falling ice and rock. The upper
portion of the John Muir Trail between Clark Point and the top of
Nevada Fall is closed in winter due to treacherously icy
conditions. Keep in mind that the sections of trail that remain
open in the winter may be very icy and/or snowy. View current conditions
for trail closures and view
historical opening and closing dates for this trail.

and Nevada Fall.

Stay Safe
- Stay on the established trail: do not swim or wade in the river
and do not walk along the edge of the river.
- Observe warning signs and railings—these exist for your
safety.
- Carry a head lamp (with fresh or extra batteries) in case you
end up hiking more slowly or farther then planned and find yourself
hiking back in the dark.
- Sprained ankles and knee injuries are common on this trail.
There are many areas of loose rock/decomposed granite, mixed with
steep steps, and water, which makes for slippery footing in
places.
- Avoid becoming dehydrated or experiencing heat exhaustion.
Drink plenty and drink often; pace yourself; rest in the shade; and
eat salty snacks.
- The granite steps along the Mist Trail leading up to the brink
of Vernal Fall can be slick and crowded. Consider making a loop by
continuing on the trail, past the brink of Vernal Fall and Emerald
Pool, taking the cutoff trail to Clark Point, and then hiking down
the John Muir Trail.
Water
Drinking water is available at the shuttle stop near the trailhead
(stop #16) and also at the Vernal Fall Footbridge (May to October).
This is the only drinking water available along the trail, so carry
plenty of water for your hike.
Restrooms
Unlike many other trails in the park, several restrooms are
available along your hike. Restrooms are located at the shuttle
stop near the trailhead (stop #16). Additionally, restrooms are
located at the Vernal Fall footbridge, approximately 1 mile up the
trail (May to October). Vault toilets are available beyond the top
of Vernal Fall (along the Mist Trail) and at the top of Nevada Fall
(along the Mist Trail).
Parking
Parking is not
available at the trailhead itself, but you can park at Curry
Village (less than one mile (1.6 km) from the trailhead). However,
accessing the trailhead is easy by taking the Valley Visitor
Shuttle (7 am to 10 pm year-round) to shuttle stop
#16.
Transportation
Ride the Valley Visitor Shuttle (7 am to 10 pm year-round) to
shuttle stop #16 and follow the signs across the bridge to where
the trail begins.
Trail Etiquette
Pets, bicycles, and
strollers are prohibited. Do not shortcut switchbacks, which causes
rapid trail erosion and results in injuries. Keep your food within arm's
reach at all times and do not feed the wildlife. Carry out all
trash and food waste (fruit peels, shells, etc.).
