"This is one of the most popular hikes in Yosemite because it passes by three major waterfalls in the park: Mist Falls, Vernal Falls, Nevada Falls. Because it is so popular, the beginning of the trail is often packed! But don't get overwhelmed -- as you continue on there are less and less people (usually once you get past Vernal Falls).
Nevada Fall is a 594-foot high waterfall on the Merced River located below granite dome, Liberty Cap, at the west end of Little Yosemite valley. The hike is about 7-miles roundtrip and is one of Yosemite's signature hikes. You can do it as an out and back or take the John Muir trail down from the top of Nevada Falls which will loop you back at the beginning of the Mist Trail.
The best time to hike this trail is in Spring or early Summer, while the snow runoff is high and the falls are full of water."
