Now let's introduce you to the photos for today. The photos for today was from the 2nd day of my trip. The photos will include photos of my drive to Cascade Falls, Cascade Falls itself, and photos of my drive to Bridalveil Fall.
Continuing from last time, driving toward Cascade Falls. A photo of the Merced River next to El Portal Road.

Cascade Falls itself. If you want to visit this waterfall, there is a turnout parking lot on El Portal Road. The GPS coordinates is above. The parking lot is fairly visible on Google Maps, so yous shouldn't miss it.
Another photo of Cascade Falls. Sadly when I was there, I didn't know how big the whole waterfall was. After seeing some photos online, if you climb up a bit further, you can see the entire waterfall including the section which is blocked by the mountain from the perspective I was at.

Travel Tip: Cascade Falls is only 1 of the hidden waterfalls in the area. Sadly I didn't not know about the other ones on my trip, until I came back to research what this waterfall is on Google. If you want back on El Portal Road, there are several other hidden waterfalls (no parking lot) that requires a bit more hiking than this one. I found a pretty good website that talks about a few of these here. Please don't forget to come back after you are done viewing. :P

After Cascade Falls, I started driving toward Bridalveil Fall stopping along the route (on El Portal Road) for shots of the Merced River.

Between El Portal Road and Southside Drive, there is a section of an unnamed road. I shot this photo on the bridge crossing the Merced River.

Another photo on the bridge facing the other direction. In the distance is probably Cathedral Rocks.
Photo of a giant Red Fir (Abies magnifica) right across the bridge.
These are all the photos for today. I hope you have enjoyed them. Next time I have photos of Bridalveil Fall and also show you why you need a good filter for your lens.
