See real conversations from hikers in the field

I'm at the junction near Vernal Falls in Yosemite. Does the left or right fork go to Happy Isles trailhead?
At the Vernal Falls junction: Take the RIGHT fork for Happy Isles trailhead. Details: • Distance: ~2.3 miles to Happy Isles • Elevation: Mostly downhill from here • Trail condition: Well-marked, granite steps ⚠️ Weather note: Afternoon thunderstorms possible today. Current time matters — if it's after 2pm, pick up your pace. The left fork continues to Nevada Falls (adds 2 miles round trip). Beautiful but save it for a full-day hike.

“I do 30+ backcountry trips a year. OutpostAI has become essential gear. Last month it helped me identify a bear track species and gave me the right protocol. The weather forecasts alone have saved several summit attempts from dangerous conditions. Worth every penny.”
