Middle Earth + the Fern Ledge Yosemite

Here is a detailed & comprehensive look on how to reach the Fern Ledge in Yosemite National Park. FYI i also have an un narrated version of this video just incase the sound of my voice makes you cringe. These clips were filmed in the Spring of 2024. The Fern Ledge is an amazing place and i hope this video helps you get there

    I lived in camp 6 and worked in curry village the summer of 1998. It was amazing. Camp 6 does not exist anymore and curry village is yosemite village. I hiked and rock climbed alot. I have been everywhere in the valley but somehow i never saw that hike. I'm disabled now. It looks like a place i would have wanted to go. I wish i could. Thankyou for the beautiful camera work. It took me there brother. I recommend hiking to Vogelsang from Toulumne Meadows, spend the night and then climb to the top of Fletcher peak. Its epic. Cheers!

    Going to this, this video helps! I was concerned about the "route finding" but thankfully your directive is thorough. Going for this trek on Saturday this weekend! Thank you.

    I've hiked this 3 times, but only the section I knew as Sunnyside Bench, which was the entire horizontal traverse from top of landslide/boulder approach to top of lower Yosemite Falls. My best hike was late summer w/ almost NO water in falls but allowed access to large pools and lip of lower falls - could actually swim in pools. About 1980s! I did not attrmpt Fern Ledge access.

    Thank you for the extremely informative video, I’ve been wanting to do this hike for a decade. No way I’m going out on that final ledge though! Great video! Suggestions for future vids of “secret”Yosemite : Indian Canyon, El Capitan Gully, The notch between Cathedral Rocks and Gunsight that takes you to top of Bridalveil Falls and base of Silver Strand Falls in springtime. Well done!

    I like how at 10:29 you mention deviating off the trail... instead of explaining why you should deviate off trail I wish you just said "BECAUSE THERE'S A HUGE GODDAMN WATERFALL IN FRONT OF YOU."

    I’d say between 5 and 7 miles total It was impossible to calculate having to walk back and get may camera added a lot of extra walking on this day

    There are only ferns in the first third of this hike unfortunately. There were lots of ferns here in the past but due to almost constant doubt they have all since vanished. M
