Candy's back there and she's going to try to climb closer to Lower Yosemite Falls.
-
I'm a little clumsy so I don't think I could do that task so I'm just gonna stay right here.
-
Hi! We're Crystal and Candy of Travel Pockets. We're sisters who are half American and half Japanese
-
and we love to travel the world in style.
-
We grew up as military brats so we're used to moving from place to place.
-
That's why we love traveling so much.
-
Dos. Tres. Cuatro.
-
Whoooo!
-
I'm canoeing!
-
We post videos weekly and would love for you to subscribe to our channel.
-
Follow us along on all of our adventures!
-
Good morning. Good morning! We're up at... it's 7:40 right now
-
and we're gonna head to Tunnel View.
-
You guys can still talk. Everybody shut up.

Look at that view.

-
We're at Tunnel View and this is one of the most famous stops in Yosemite National Park
-
because you get a beautiful view of the valley.
-
It's the El Capitan, Half Dome and Bridalveil Fall. You can see all three of those with this beautiful view.
-
And it's really just right off the side of the road. So you don't have to hike anywhere.
-
It really is just a viewpoint, so definitely just stop by and take a look because it's a really beautiful view.
-
We can't really see it very well right now because the sun is directly in our eyes.
-
It's so bright right now.
-
Yeah, it's coming up right now so we might have to come back later
-
and check it at sunset so we can get a better view.
-
Yea because right now it's 8:00 in the morning.
-
It's about 65 to 66 degrees which is perfect.
-
The weather is really nice.
-
Today is September third.
-
Anyway, the weather is amazing.
-
The view is still great. I just wish the sun wasn't so harsh right now.
-
Come a little bit earlier or come later in the day and I think the views will be even more gorgeous.
-
Yea because I'm having trouble seeing it because the sun is right in my eyes.
-
It's definitely in our eyes.

We're at Lower Yosemite Falls. This is Stop 6 on the valley shuttle. Says Yosemite Falls.

-
We wanted to use the restrooms first. We thought it was nearby but the signs are very misleading
-
because the signs keep on saying, "Restroom", "Restroom", "Restroom".
-
Oh there they are! Our friends have been gone for awhile, so we were wondering where this restroom was.
-
Poor Wes.
-
I know. Our friend, Wesley isn't going to make it on this hike with us because he has gout, is it?
-
Yeah, so his heel is hurting really bad.
-
I was thinking maybe we could get a wheelchair and push him along the way
-
because there's a lot of flat trails around here. It's not just hiking uphill
-
so I don't know if he'll be down for that but we want him to join us too.
-
But yeah...
-
I can give him a piggyback.
-
Yeah, Mariko can piggyback with her small tiny body. Hahaha!

Getting really brave here.
-
So, Candy's back there and she's going to try to climb closer to Lower Yosemite Falls.
-
I'm a little clumsy so I don't think I could do that task so I'm just gonna stay right here.
-
But we have seen a lot of people climb up towards there. Our friends did it and it looks pretty awesome
-
so if you're a challenger, definitely climb up there
-
but make sure you have good traction on your shoes because these rocks are pretty slippery
-
So there's Candy. Hi!
-

-
I almost fell.
-
Oh no!

-
I'm not going this way again.
-
Alright, Spider Woman!
-
So Candy is back.
-
I'm back. When I was coming back, I kind of regretted going a little far
-
because I got my shoes wet, I started panicking a little bit and I'm like, "Oh man, what if I fall?"
-
It's sharp rocks and it's slippery.
-
These rocks are actually very slippery.
-
And we did buy shoes with grip specifically for these type of things but we do still slip.
-
I was hoping it would be rocks like when we went to Joshua Tree
-
their rocks were gritty so we had really good grip on those rocks
-
but here it's just... I think because the water has made it really smooth, it's very slippery.
-
So if you're going to do this, make sure to be very careful.
-
Yeah, there's plenty of people doing it. I'm just not doing it because I get vertigo sometimes
-
and just a little bit of losing balance will make me lose it.
-
And it's not an official trail. There are signs that say it's very dangerous
-
but we saw some people doing it so we thought maybe we can do it and then everyone started to.
-
Once one person sees somebody doing it, then a whole bunch of people start doing it.
-
But we didn't go all the way to the top. We're not risk takers.
-
I'm definitely not a risk taker.
-
So it's 10:00 right now. We probably got here around 9:00.
-
I think we've been in this one spot in particular for at least 40 minutes.
-
Yeah, well just climbing around and taking pictures.
-
It's a gorgeous day.
-
Perfect weather.
-
Yeah, I mean right now it's 79 degrees.
-
It's starting to get hot but there's still a lot of shade too so it's not that bad.
-
Yesterday when we were driving here, the temperatures outside were 104 degrees.
-
Yeah.
-
So we knew we wanted to get up early and do an early hike
-
because I don't think we can survive hiking in 100 degree weather.
-
Even though it might be kind of shaded but it's still too hot.
-
It was an easy hike to get up here. It's a little trail. It's a loop.
-
If you don't do these rock climbing parts... I mean, saw a girl wearing a dress.
-
Hmm yeah.
-
I mean it's easily doable and a dress if you're just following the trail.
-
We're walking the rest of the trail.
-
Yeah.
-
Oh look, there's a dog.
-
Look at the dog.

-
We just did this loop. And you can do this loop where you start here
-
and then you go around this loop, go to Yosemite Fall, and then go back around the loop.
-
So this whole thing wasn't even that long.
-
30 minutes walking around but we stopped at lower Yosemite fall for a while
-
and you can actually climb the rocks and go swimming down at the bottom here. It's pretty cool.
