Spectacular and remarkable views. The climbers were so impressive. We would love to be able to climb and have set this as a goal. So beautiful.

The hike from the valley floor to the top of Half Dome can be done in one day but we are talking a LONG day. Plan on leaving bright and early after sunrise if you plan on enjoying the hike and not rushing to get back down before dark. This hike will take you past two of the most beautiful... More

I didn't get to hike the "Dome" but I got close to it. This cool cliff is a must see for all who visit the park. You can't avoid it. Half Dome is synonymous with Yosemite. It's mascot.

what a great rock! super picturesc, lots of people hiking up there be ready for waiting lines if you want to climb the top.

This was the highlight of my trip to California. It was really hard work because I hiked to the top and down again in one day and started much later than I wanted to. It's best to start as early as you can because climbing in the heat is tough. The views are just unbelievable. I have to go again!... More

Hard to take in its so large and it is so elevated. Although we dint climb it we saw it form several vistas and were impressed always.
