With the weather remaining sunny and warm, and hikers flocking to the Mist Trail/JMT, the lower Mist Trail will return to a one-way (uphill) route from the lower Mist Trail-JMT junction to the top of Vernal Fall as of Saturday, December 5. The daily restriction on descending the steps from the top of Vernal Fall will be 9 am - 3 pm (this summer it was 9 am - 4 pm).
The intention is to encourage social distancing and prevent passing along narrow stretches of trail. Signs with maps encouraging hikers to travel in a clockwise loop will be posted at the trailhead and the lower Mist Trail-JMT junction, and smaller signs will be posted at other trail junctions along the shorter (Clark Point) loop.
