Chilnualna Falls Trail in Yosemite National Park offers a challenging and less crowded hiking experience compared to the famous Mist Trail. With three waterfalls and bonus cascades along the way, hikers can enjoy the beauty of nature in a serene environment. Although the trail doesn't provide the best view of the tallest waterfall, the trail's scenic highlights include pools, cascades, and a cataract, making it a memorable adventure for outdoor enthusiasts.
This 8.4-mile round trip hike starts at an elevation of 4,200 feet and gains 2,300 feet, taking approximately 4-6 hours to complete. The best time to visit is during the spring when the water flow is abundant, and the trail offers a light but not lonely crowd. Hikers should be cautious of hazards such as slippery granite riverbeds, stream crossings, and the presence of poison oak and wildlife along the trail.
