It is really a perfect opportunity to see all the major features of Yosemite Valley. Even with a bone dry Yosemite Falls, it is still spectacular and the ascent is pretty gentle. Most people seem to only walk down, but for me the views need to be deserved so I went up and down. Took about 6 hours total (including an hour lunch break at the top).
For a post hike debrief, I would recommend a short drive down Southside drive and then find a chill spot in Leidig Meadow. There are a lot of good spots along the river.
