Nature Views: Vernal Falls In Yosemite National Park

“Sunday Morning” takes us to Vernal Falls in California’s Yosemite National Park. Videographer: Lance Milbrand.

Vernal Fall is a 317-foot waterfall on the Merced River just downstream of Nevada Fall in Yosemite National Park, California. Like its upstream neighbor, Vernal Fall is clearly visible at a distance, from Glacier Point, as well as close up, along the Mist Trail.
