Got it from the website:


Half Dome stands at the elevation of 8,842 feet. It is made up from a type of granite, plutonic rock. Yosemite National Park's Half Dome's missing half is presumed to have fallen off when the Ice Age glaciers passed through.


Yosemite National Park-Half Dome, the hike is approximately 17 miles round trip. The hike to Half Dome can take anywhere from 10-12 hours. Cables are put up in late May and taken down in October. The elevation will increase by 4,800', from Yosemite's Valley Floor,

(almost one mile).

Yosemite National Park is famous for the anticipated Half Dome hike. Most avid hikers want Half Dome on their list of accomplishments. Since I have the famous Half Dome hike under my belt, let me share with you a few pointers:



Things to take with you to hike Yosemite's Half Dome:

1. Water- lots of water, (fill water up half-way in container and freeze overnight. If you fill water up too far, you will bust your container). Cool water is like Heaven on the top of Half Dome. Recommended amount is 1/2 -1 gallon.

2. Water purifier pills (available at sporting good stores). Streams may contain parasites.

3. Food (high energy, light weight), check at sporting good stores for examples.

4. Snacks (trail mix, granola bars, dried fruit, raisins, cheese & crackers, Lunchables... pack lightly).

5. Gloves (leather or rawhide, not winter type), to protect your hands on the cables. (Some gloves are laying in rock
crevice before you ascend cables... if you want to take a chance the gloves will be there).

6. Socks (to put on after soaking feet in water on the way down from Half Dome).

7. Mole skin (to put on sore spots on toes, precut or bring pocket knife).

8. Kleenex or toilet paper (only pit stops are at Vernal Fall bridge, Nevada Fall, & Little Yosemite Valley campground).

9. Plastic bag that contain: Band-Aids, Neosporin, pain reliever, Dramamine.

10. Rub-on ointment like Ben gay. (for sore muscles).

11. Nail clipper or pocket knife.

12. Bandanna (nice to wet in streams along the way to wet the face).

13. Sunscreen (apply frequently since you will be perspiring often).

14. Bug repellent. (mosquitoes are out in early day and evening, pesky small flies too).

15. Hat (cover over the back of neck is good, sun will be on your back most of the way).

16. Back pack or waist pack (I use two waist packs, one to the front - other to the back).

17. Large canteen to wear over shoulder (pre-frozen 1/2 way night before).

18. Knee/ankle brace.

19. Hiking boots (light weight with rugged bottom). Tennis shoes are slippery on rocks.

20. Light weight wind breaker

21. Small Flashlight (hike may take you longer than expected).

22. Camera (put around neck or in backpack while going up the cables).

23. Money to get ice cream at Curry Village at end of hike.

24. Walking stick (some prefer to use).

25. Topo map (just in case).

26. Silver warmth emergency blanket.

27. Poncho (small inexpensive disposable one), the trail leading to Vernal Fall is called the mist trail!!!

28. THAT IS ALL!!!
