Images that make you laugh

Not at all surprised. Wet rock has absolutely terrible traction and thus poses a substantial fall danger.

Yes, and once you're underwater, the extreme cold, disorientation, and rapid currents extend the danger. When we take students up that way, safety is taken very, very seriously.

You lead hikes up the Mist Trail?

The Mist Trail is not that bad. I've hiked it many times. You WILL get wet, but if you stay on path and step carefully and use the handrails, you'll be fine. Its really a pretty enjoyable, beautiful hike. Most injuries and deaths seem to happen when people foolishly defy the many warning signs in the park. At the top of the Mist Trail is Vernal Falls. Again, just stay behind the rails. A few years ago, three young people all went over the waterfall at once when they went beyond the rail to take pictures and fool around. People who were watching them saw the look of total horror on their faces as the went over the edge.

Thanks. I'm prepared for wet conditions, and I won't be doing anything stupid at the top. I'm (hopefully) going to the top of Half Dome in a few months, and I can always use intel from people who are familiar with the trail.

Yes, I won the permit lottery.

Oh, cool beans. I'd say look out for your fellow hikers more than anything else, it's getting to be a zoo up there! Instagram has a lot to answer for.

If you aren't being silly and you stick to the trail, neither hike is dangerous. Just don't be a "touron". The walk up to Vernal with its thousand rainbows is one of my favorite short hikes in the park. And make sure to wander around Happy Isles before or after heading up, too, the loop is short and cute little animals are abundant.

In general, well... our students are mostly adults, but not necessarily woodsy adults. We quietly chaperone as many groups as we have the numbers to.

Yeah, so many don't understand that there should always be a woodsy person in the group.

Memorial day weekend, they were out in droves.

"How much farther?"
(There were four reasonable objectives: Echo overlook (we knew was clear), Griffith saddle (most likely clear), Griffith peak (probably clear) and Charleston peak (probably not clear yet)) "To what?"
"Cathedral Rock."
"This trail doesn't go there, you missed the turn." (Admittedly, it's about a 135 degree turn.)
In that reasonably flat section of the trail there were dozens of people. I doubt 10% of them could have made it to any of the objectives that can be reached from that trailhead. The parking lot is already at 7,600' and all of the objectives are well above that.

It was all a mistake. It started with “wisdom teeth” that came in late. The preacher tried to console the person by telling them that molars came from god.
