IMG_4797.JPG2 viewsThe "Mist Trail" is best early in the season. It can drench hikers, but is usually welcomed by those ascending the steep rock steps on a warm day. As long as I can remember, I have always seen a rainbow here. This photo is on our return trip, after our whirlwind tour on the Valley floor. a little over 5 hours after the previous photo was taken. Low angle frontal light intensifies the rainbow and the green grass. I didn't end up taking any photos from the Valley floor!
