What an adventure, so beautiful! Do you think you'll ever make a video going to the half dome diving board? I've always been curious about that spot.

Oh shucks, its no longer a secret. We discovered this trail and explored it when we were in our 70's & no longer could do the more strenuous hikes. We found that just going up to switchback 13 gave us a great view across the valley & that was as far as we ever went. Now we are in our ,mid 80's & can't even get to Yosemite. We never saw another person on the trail. In our 20's & 30's we backpacked all over the high country, but you have to accomodate an aging body. I have really bad arthritis so I had to stop hiking earlier. Bummer. Thanks for the lovely video.

This trail was officially opened for ascent only sometime in the 1960s when I was a kid. It was on the maps handed out to visitors, though we never tried it. Those were the days when people in the valley would shout out "Elmer" (as if there were a lost kid, as a joke) while waiting for the firefall. Later, of course, the trail was closed again.

Hey. 18 Year-Old Eagle Scout here. Two years ago, when i was sixteen and got my license, me and 3 of my pals (all experienced backpackers, and Boy Scouts) decided to hike this trail. Terrifying, but really scenic and cool. We did our research, and packed lightly, with a bit of extra water supply. Thankfully, said streams were not dry, and we got free water. I’ve been on many hikes, but this was one of my favorites. Coming from someone who has hiked at Yosemite, Yellowstone, Badlands, and Philmont Scout Ranch in Cimarron, New Mexico. Thanks for this video and taking me back here. :)

Beautiful video - i loved the soothing & slightly eerie vocal delivery & music, as well as the scenery. I'm subscribing on the strength of this vid alone. Am Australian, and visited Yosemite as a kid (no hiking, but it's where i saw my first and only snow). A beautiful place. Now I can experience it vicariously through you. Lol at all the people saying "this isnt scary/dangerous!", as if those things aren't dependent on individual. I love bushwalking but unfortunately have a fear of heights, and i would be terrified on this trail. One thing that has helped me feel more stable in certain places is the use of a stick (only one, so i have one hand free). Hope your leg has settled down. It's a bummer when things like that detract from an experience. I look forward to seeing more.

The standard 4 mile trail uphill and the panorama trail down back to the valley is plenty hard for most of us urban dwelling office workers including me. Today much older, I might be tempted to buy the one-way bus ticket up GP and hike down the 4 mile. Even when I was in my 20s, I would say "hell nah" to the Ledge trail.
