Top of Yosemite Falls & Yosemite Point

By autumn, most of the magnificent waterfalls are barely flowing and the grandest one of all, Yosemite Falls, is bone dry. Still, the views from the top are amazing. This is a very strenuous day hike - about 2700' of elevation gain (and loss).
Just close your eyes and imagine there is water. See how awesome it is?
