	Vernal and Nevada Falls
		The falls drops off a sheer joint face, which is very much wider than the present falls.
		Nevada Falls owes its odd bent appearance to the fact that it flows down a steep rock face and hits an inclined joint about halfway down.
		Upstream from the falls there is a little valley incision but at the head of the valley north of the falls (yellow) there is no significant drainage divide.

	Nevada Falls, Yosemite National Park, California (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Nevada Falls are 3 miles from roads-end in Yosemite Valley and 1.5 miles upstream from Vernal Falls; here the Merced River flows over a high ledge onto a jumble of large boulders 600 feet below, with much spray and foaming white water.
		Emerald Pool: After reaching Vernal Falls, the trail passes Emerald Pool - just a few meters from the cliff edge, this is a wide, shallow but still fast moving section of the river where the waters flow into a natural bowl-shaped depression.
		This is a place to think, and rest for a while; unlike Vernal Falls which can be very crowded, the top of Nevada Falls is peaceful and undisturbed.

		Nevada is bigger, but the water does not fall as freely, as straight, as Vernal, cuz of the slight slope you see.
		Once you reach the top of Nevada Falls, you've got the first big chunk of the climb out of the way.
		At the top of Nevada Falls is where the sun first hits you.

	In the Heart of the Sierras: Chapter 25: Vernal and Nevada Falls, by James M. Hutchings (1888)
		The first fall reached in ascending the cañon is the Vernal, a perpendicular sheet of water with a descent varying greatly with the season.
		Probably it is near the truth to call the height of the fall, at the average stage of the water in June or July, 400 feet.
		Approaching the edge of the fall, almost before we have glanced at its diamond-fringed lip, we walk up to, and lean upon, a natural balustrade of granite, that seems to have been constructed there for the especial benefit of weak-nerved people; so that the most timid can look over it into the entrancing abyss beneath.

	RGJ.com - Slow-starting Nevada falls to Iowa in title game
		Nevada shot 28 percent from the field, although the Hawkeyes weren’t much better at 33 percent.
		Things were so bad for Nevada in the first half that the Pack did not get its first field goal of the half until freshman Ashlee Orndorff scored with 12:54 left before halftime.
		Nevada senior guard Jessica Larsen, from nearby Kalona, Iowa, had a team-high 16 points while Orndorff scored 11 off the bench.

		It lies a few miles past Vernal Falls and is reached by the Mist Trail, a spectacular route along the Merced River from Yosemite Valley's Happy Isles, through the Little Yosemite Valley to Vernal Falls and beyond to Nevada Falls.
		The final 1/2 mile approach to Vernal Falls takes the lucky hiker up through green woods and then open switchbacks among granite bolders, close enough to the plume of the falls that the hiker gets a good sense of the power of the falls, especially during peak water flow in spring months.
		Nevada Falls marks where the Merced River plummets almost 600' through a joint in the Little Yosemite Valley, shooting out from a sheer granite cliff and then down to a boulder pile far below.

		Yosemite is pretty any time of the year, but I think that earlier in the summer, when all the water levels are at their fullest, is the best time to visit.

	Ansel Adams, Nevada Fall, Yosemite National Park
		The fall was in full spate at that time of the year, carrying the melt-waters from the winter snows, in particular the subject was to be the rainbow formed from the mist in front of the fall.
		The volume of water cascading over the fall meant that it was producing billowing clouds of mist that rolled down the canyon for over half a mile.
		For the fl and white exposures, a coloured filter (Wratten no.8) was used and the water of the fall placed in zone 6 1/2 and made notes about the development, the developer and the paper used.

		On this specific journey, the season's thaw made the waterfalls breathtaking, so I was drawn to a simple composition of Nevada Falls.
		I always record in my mind, a tangible memory from location, and the memory of this experience was standing and panting so close to the falls that the oil paint mixed with the spray, making it hard to move the slippery paint.
		Now look for the darkest area of your scene; More often than not, it will be the deep blue of a shadow, and not actually fl, even in the darkest scenarios.

	Yosemite National Park: John Muir Trail to Nevada Falls
		Rusted metal stencil-signs advise you that this is the John Muir Trail, leading to Nevada Falls, Merced Lake and points beyond.
		That waterfall, unlike Nevada Falls further up the Merced, is not visible, but the Emerald Pool just above it can be seen through a screen of pines and cedars down in the valley of the Merced.
		(Bridal Veil Falls, further down Yosemite Valley, is considerably worse, however.) You descend as quickly as possible, at one point passing through a short granite tunnel, then zigzagging down flights of granite steps -- until, finally, you reach the forest away from the falls and the trail turns into a normal, shallowly descending forest trail.

		To the tourist who beholds it for the first time, the Nevada Fall, with its weird surroundings, is a view of rare and picturesque beauty and grandeur.
		One day was devoted to another visit to the Nevada Fall, our explorations this time being extended above the fall into the valley, now known as the “Little Yosemite,” and including a climb to the summit of the Cap of Liberty.
		The trout decline to be caught except by Indians; and the grouse, in disgust, have fled over the mountains, or scattered among the junipers and dwarfed pines of the higher ranges.

		As it approaches Nevada Falls it flows quietly through tranquil meanders over the almost flat floor of Little Yosemite Valley, steepening only in the last hundred yards as it accelerates down a chute and bursts forth from the cliff as Nevada Falls.
		Though it is the most remote of the major falls in Yosemite, Nevada is easily viewed from Glacier Point, 1300 feet above and two miles away.
		It is also possible to hike to the top of the falls, either by following the river up past Vernal Falls, or by taking the Panorama Trail, which traces the cliff edges all the way from Glacier Point.

		OK, so our December 9, 2000 trip did not offer the snow level necessary for snow shoes or the temperatures required to chill us to the bone, but Eric, Frank and I did discover the magnificence of Yosemite Valley in the winter time.
		Nevada Falls towers above the valley floor some 1,900 feet, with a 594 foot plunge and its waters then roar over Vernal Falls, creating misty skies such as are seldom seen elsewhere.
		But, being December, there had been no snow melt to fuel these wondrous locales, and the falls were impotent compared to what they would be in the spring.

		Realizing that the junction at which he was waiting was some 200 feet below the junction at our end of the spur (where we left him the note), and also realizing we'd probably not want to hike down those 200 feet only to have to regain them, he wisely headed directly up to the falls.

		The scene is essentially identical to [In the Catskills], with the addition of the path and the placement of the figure to the left, rather than the right, of the stream; another painting of similar composition is Catskill Fall, Catskill Mountains, New York.
