When hiking the Valley Loop Trail, you should pass right by El Capitan
After one false start, we were able to zero in on the Valley Loop Trail. Surprisingly, the trail is not well marked if starting out at the Yosemite Falls vista. We purchased a detailed map and we were stopped a number of times by people who were on the trail, yet had no idea where they were. Of course, we offered to share our knowledge with them.
While hiking the Valley Loop Trail, you should pass close to El Capitan. This is one structure that looks best from a distance. Up close, it is a sheer wall of rock. Walking past El Cap, you will feel very small indeed! (El Cap’s Different Personality Tomorrow…)
