Truly Yosemite is a magnificent spot and well known to many vacationer’s, locals, and nature enthusiasts. Yosemite has several spots to explore and one of their most well-known spots is recognized as Half Dome. The climb to the top has been the ultimate challenge for hikers in the National Park. The journey up the granite slab is a 10-hour 14-16.5 mile round trip that takes avid hiker’s past cascading waterfalls, through lush green forests, and to the final obstacle, a tormenting 45-degree towering rock face known as the head of Half-Dome. Trip entails a whopping 4,800 feet elevation.
This challenging hike requires the hiker to choose one of the two park’s most popular trails, the steep rock-step Mist Trail or the switchbacks of the longer John Muir Trail. Both of these hikes ascend through the majestic Grand Staircase, a steep-sided river valley by two massive waterfalls. A breath taking journey with astounding views!
