The Mist Trail

Alright, so Monday I hiked the Mist Trail and it was absolutely gorgeous pretty much the entire way up. The reason it's called the Mist Trail is because you get drenched by mist because you're so close to the waterfalls. The first fall on the hike is Vernal Falls and the second is Nevada Falls. We actually had to walk under a smaller fall to get to Nevada Falls. Needless to say we got pretty wet. But it was so worth it. It was about a 7 mile round trip with 1000 ft elevation gain or maybe a little more.

Something that I didn't quite expect here is the party scene. Pretty much almost every night at the local hangout building, there are several people, with several being about twenty, getting drunk. And while I don't find it wrong to drink, I do with drunkenness on a daily basis. But I've come to the understanding that my disapproval of their actions is not going to change their behavior, more importantly their heart, but my friendship with them may serve as the catalyst that is needed for a change in heart as long as God is acting in the midst.

Today was a little weird. It rained, snowed a little, and shined all in one day, all in one hour pretty much. Even though the weather's pretty crappy right now, it's still pretty amazing here.
Here's some more pictures.
