Yosemite National Park Continued
Swinging Bridge

- this is part of the Meadow Loop Trail (warning: the other bridge included in the Meadow Loop trail is not wheelchair accessible; it has about 6 steep steps on both ends of bridge)

- you can reach the bridge from either the south Loop Road or from behind the Yosemite
Lodge

- crosses the Merced River

- nice, shaded picnic areas on south side of bridge



 _______________________________________

Meadow Discovery Trail- off the Loop Road

- I didn't have time to go on this short boardwalk which leads through a meadow to the Merced River and back through the meadow.  (short loop trail)

- it's short but looks nice!


 _______________________________________

Bridalveil Fall

- warning: the trail up to the viewing area is not wheelchair accessible

- you can see the waterfall from the parking lot (which has disabled spaces and a disabled restroom)

- you can start up the trail to the falls and when the trail leads off to the right to go to the viewing area, stay on the trail and go straight.  You'll go over a couple really pretty stone bridges and it's relatively flat for a short walk.
