Emerald Pool

[ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]

Emerald Pool at the top of Vernal Falls. The quiet water is very deceptive. If you slide or jump in you'll be washed down the Vernal Falls in seconds. Photo taken in 2002.

I wonder if thats

happened to anybody before.
Guess you'd have to be a
strong swimmer. There must
be a backcountry ranger
stationed there with a rope
during the busier times of
the year. Great photo, Guido!
