Next we took a short hike to Bridal Veil Falls, which I believe is .5 miles round trip. We first ate lunch in the car since we did not see any picnic facilities.
Being that it was October, the flow was pretty low, but I was grateful that there was at least some water left.

Our next stop was the Visitors Center…only problem was that the parking lot was under construction, so we had to park in a makeshift lot pretty far away.
We had our first view of Upper Yosemite Falls on our way to the Visitors Center.
We were just in time for a ranger talk/walk, so we joined in. This picture is kind of funny because everyone is actually looking at an airplane that flew overhead, not nature. Our ranger shared his passion for microfauna.
I couldn’t help it!
This guy was just hanging out nearby.
We learned from the ranger that we were actually really fortunate to see Yosemite Falls like this, as it had been dry since July! There was a rainstorm just the weekend before our arrival (which I had been nervously tracking, since we were camping), which turned the falls back “on”.
