Yosemite Falls Trail is "one of Yosemite's oldest historic trails (built 1873 to 1877)". The trail leads from the Valley to the top of North America's tallest waterfall, which rises 2425' above the Valley floor. The trail climbs about 2700' in 3.6 miles.
Cloud's Rest (9926') is one of Yosemite's most stunning and expansive view points. The trail to the top runs about 6 miles from Tenaya Lake, gaining 1775' in elevation in the process.
There is a Strava segment for the ascent, but we note that times reported by Strava are approximate. Runners should report their actual time from the TH to the top.
