Candy's back there and she's going to try to climb closer to Lower Yosemite Falls.
I'm a little clumsy so I don't think I could do that task so I'm just gonna stay right here.
Hi! We're Crystal and Candy of Travel Pockets. We're sisters who are half American and half Japanese
and we love to travel the world in style.
We grew up as military brats so we’re used to moving from place to place.
That's why we love traveling so much.
Dos. Tres. Cuatro.
Whoooo!
I'm canoeing!
We post videos weekly and would love for you to subscribe to our channel.
Follow us along on all of our adventures!
Good morning. Good morning! We're up at... it's 7:40 right now
and we're gonna head to Tunnel View.
You guys can still talk. Everybody shut up.
♪♪ MUSIC ♪♪
Look at that view.
♪♪ MUSIC ♪♪
We're at Tunnel View and this is one of the most famous stops in Yosemite National Park
because you get a beautiful view of the valley.
It's the El Capitan, Half Dome and Bridalveil Fall. You can see all three of those with this beautiful view.
And it's really just right off the side of the road. So you don't have to hike anywhere.
It really is just a viewpoint, so definitely just stop by and take a look because it's a really beautiful view.
We can't really see it very well right now because the sun is directly in our eyes.
It's so bright right now.
Yeah, it's coming up right now so we might have to come back later
and check it at sunset so we can get a better view.
Yea because right now it's 8:00 in the morning.
It's about 65 to 66 degrees which is perfect.
The weather is really nice.
Today is September third.
Anyway, the weather is amazing.
The view is still great. I just wish the sun wasn't so harsh right now.
Come a little bit earlier or come later in the day and I think the views will be even more gorgeous.
Yea because I'm having trouble seeing it because the sun is right in my eyes.
It's definitely in our eyes.

We're at Lower Yosemite Falls. This is Stop 6 on the valley shuttle. Says Yosemite Falls.

We wanted to use the restrooms first. We thought it was nearby but the signs are very misleading
because the signs keep on saying, "Restroom", "Restroom", "Restroom".
Oh there they are! Our friends have been gone for awhile, so we were wondering where this restroom was.
Poor Wes.
I know. Our friend, Wesley isn't going to make it on this hike with us because he has gout, is it?
Yeah, so his heel is hurting really bad.
I was thinking maybe we could get a wheelchair and push him along the way
because there's a lot of flat trails around here. It's not just hiking uphill
so I don't know if he'll be down for that but we want him to join us too.
But yeah...
I can give him a piggyback.
Yeah, Mariko can piggyback with her small tiny body. Hahaha!

Getting really brave here.
So, Candy's back there and she's going to try to climb closer to Lower Yosemite Falls.
I'm a little clumsy so I don't think I could do that task so I'm just gonna stay right here.
But we have seen a lot of people climb up towards there. Our friends did it and it looks pretty awesome
so if you're a challenger, definitely climb up there
but make sure you have good traction on your shoes because these rocks are pretty slippery
So there's Candy. Hi!
♪♪ MUSIC ♪♪
I almost fell.
Oh no!
♪♪ MUSIC ♪♪
I'm not going this way again.
Alright, Spider Woman!
So Candy is back.
I'm back. When I was coming back, I kind of regretted going a little far
because I got my shoes wet, I started panicking a little bit and I'm like, "Oh man, what if I fall?"
It's sharp rocks and it's slippery.
These rocks are actually very slippery.
And we did buy shoes with grip specifically for these type of things but we do still slip.
I was hoping it would be rocks like when we went to Joshua Tree
their rocks were gritty so we had really good grip on those rocks
but here it's just... I think because the water has made it really smooth, it's very slippery.
So if you're going to do this, make sure to be very careful.
Yeah, there's plenty of people doing it. I'm just not doing it because I get vertigo sometimes
and just a little bit of losing balance will make me lose it.
And it's not an official trail. There are signs that say it's very dangerous
but we saw some people doing it so we thought maybe we can do it and then everyone started to.
Once one person sees somebody doing it, then a whole bunch of people start doing it.
But we didn't go all the way to the top. We're not risk takers.
I'm definitely not a risk taker.
So it's 10:00 right now. We probably got here around 9:00.
I think we've been in this one spot in particular for at least 40 minutes.
Yeah, well just climbing around and taking pictures.
It's a gorgeous day.
Perfect weather.
Yeah, I mean right now it's 79 degrees.
It's starting to get hot but there's still a lot of shade too so it's not that bad.
Yesterday when we were driving here, the temperatures outside were 104 degrees.
Yeah.
So we knew we wanted to get up early and do an early hike
because I don't think we can survive hiking in 100 degree weather.
Even though it might be kind of shaded but it's still too hot.
It was an easy hike to get up here. It's a little trail. It's a loop.
If you don't do these rock climbing parts... I mean, saw a girl wearing a dress.
Hmm yeah.
I mean it's easily doable and a dress if you're just following the trail.
We're walking the rest of the trail.
Yeah.
Oh look, there's a dog.
Look at the dog.

Some cool trees.

We just did this loop. And you can do this loop where you start here
and then you go around this loop, go to Yosemite Fall, and then go back around the loop.
So this whole thing wasn't even that long.
30 minutes walking around but we stopped at lower Yosemite fall for a while
and you can actually climb the rocks and go swimming down at the bottom here. It's pretty cool.
