Cables on Half Dome:

Let me know when you come out I live 25 mins west of the west gate and know some other cool spots to check out not in the park. This goes for anyone else heading to glacier

I will keep this in mind, just got back from Great Falls, MT a few weeks ago. We'll probably go back next year.

Drove through the Lewis & Clark forest and went through Yellowstone on the way back.

Beautiful country up there.

Nice pics, OP.

Been there once myself and only had a day,, could easily spend a week there. Pics look great, but there is now way it can capture the magnitude of the valley. Anyone who has been there knows.

Yosemite Is the only part of CA that I will ever set foot in, well maybe the Sierra Nevada's too. but defiantly Yosemite

don't fool yourself. besides the hippies in SF the crooks in Sac and the hollywood wannabies in LA, the rest of california is fantastic!




watching the sunrise from the top of half dome is by far one of the most beautiful sights i've ever seen!

Don't rob yourself of driving the 101 along the coast in NorCal, throught the redwoods etc. Amazing natural beauty!

Wow it was awesome! Left sacramento at around 8am and got back at around 11pm... didn't hike the half dome as it's just not enough time to do in 1 day, but got really close to one of the water falls...great place. Will deff. have to come back again for a hike.

Yosemite is awesome! Anyone that goes has to take a day and hike Half Dome. Its about 18 or so miles and takes a full day but the view from the top and the feeling of your feet dangling 4700 feet above the valley floor is unbeatable!!

pictures of yosemite do not do it justice
it is awe inspiring to be there in person

we hiked up half dome in early spring about 30yrs ago. to get to the top we had to straddle the cables that are used in the summer to provide a walkway, but in the early spring are just laying against the rock. we spent the night on top, which is against park rules, but is was incredible. we played flashlight morse code with the campers on the valley floor. there is a little ledge you can sit on with your feet hanging off, and when you look between your knees its about 2000ft straight down. sounds freaky but if you've ever climbed, the "pull" of heights like the ledge on half dome go away after a while and you can jist sit there with no drama.

you gotta go there before you die

NICE!


I was literally JUST there at the beginning of this month...I took about 700 pictures while I was there for a day and a half.

It truly is an amazing place. If you live in CA or any surrounding state and have not been there, then you suck.
