I remember the original swinging bridge, it wasn't stationary like it is now. Growing up, my parents and siblings went camping in Yosemite Valley before reservations were required. We used to arrive early in the morning to scout out campsites that were vacant, or the people were packing up to leave. We would then stand in line (only 5-10 people) and ask the ranger to assign us to the site we liked the best. Occasionally we used to like going to the swinging bridge to spend an afternoon at the riverside to go swimming. Back then the bridge had hand cables instead of wood rails, and the footbridge had suspended planks. It was fun
@@shaze627 this is a seasonal waterfall along South Fork Tuolumne River directly along Tioga Rd. It does dry up by fall (it’s less than 10 miles east of the chevron & there’s a small pull out next to the waterfall)
@@thanhd4611 while we were staying here there were dozens of people having a blast tubing & we could see them floating down the Merced from our campsite.😊
@@kimberlyjaramillo8955 California (Yosemite National Park) there’s a small parking lot that can accommodate a dozen cars and you can walk right to this picnic area onto the bridge. If the swinging bridge parking lot here is full there are many other places to park less than half a mile away and you can walk the easy path along the boardwalk trail to reach this spot.😊
@@genet2017 this video is from the last week in May, typically this waterfall reaches its fullest flow between late May & mid-June (by the fall it can slow to a trickle) hope that helps.☺️
@@EdithJustice I have the details on my full Glacier Point blog post & RU-vid video - this spot is super easy to find when you head to Glacier Point this piece of Granite is next to the outdoor amphitheater & it’s hard to miss, it juts up and there’s a information panel by it because the original glacier point hotel was actually built on this rock & and the information panels have pictures of the hotel here. I hope that helps, happy adventures!
