I went on an 8 mile hike a few weeks ago on Yosemite's "Mist Trail", the purpose of which was photography... Turned out the purpose of the photography was to give my legs a break from the hike (really more of a stair climb than hike)...
Nevada Fall in as seen from the top...594 feet...
Here's a shot from downstream of Nevada falls...
Here's one from a rest break on the way back down the stairs...
