		you can return via the mist trail, but it is steeper and you will encounter people coming up the trail, which makes it a little hairy sometimes.
		But these trails may still be choked with snow, and the streams may be full to overflowing.
		There is a parking area near the 4 mile trail and you could take the shuttle back (or close to) your car when you finish the Panorama Trail (which is one I would definitely do).

	Kenton Lee - Hiking Half Dome, Yosemite National Park
		The Mist Trail is so named because spray from the waterfalls soaks hikers during the spring, so be prepared.
		The last part of the trail is too steep to climb without hand support and the park service graciously maintains the cables up the last quarter mile to the summit.
		The shortest route down is the same trail you took on the way up, though people with tired legs may want to consider the more gentle John Muir Trail, especially when the Mist Trail is muddy.

		Generally, I would recommend the Mist Trail but there are times when it is very wet and dangerous if the runoff is at its peak.
		The mist trail is the most scenic, and I would take that unless your knees are worn out or it is too wet and slick (rangers will know).
		Though the trail to the first lake is only a mile or so, it is a steep incline, so it isn't exactly quick.

	Mist Trail to Nevada Falls Loop \| Yosemite Explorer

		At the top of the trail, there are composting toilets which you should definitely use in a high-traffic area like this.
		The stairs on the Mist Trail are about as rough as it gets in terms of trail running.
