Half Dome towers nearly 5,000 ft above Yosemite Valley, attracting seasoned mountaineers with its thrilling hiking route. The granite formation lies on the eastern end of the valley, featuring a distinct shape that inspired its name. It’s visible from several spots within the national park, including Glacier Point, Mirror Lake, and Olmsted Point.
Half Dome’s Cables Route is one of the most challenging expeditions in the park. The trail runs between 14 and 16 miles long, with up to 4,800 ft in elevation. After reaching its base, you’ll have to scale 400 ft using 2 steel cables without using any rock-climbing gear.

Spending a couple of nights in the wilderness is possible thanks to the Tuolumne Meadows Campground in Yosemite National Park. Hikers can try the 4.8-mile roundtrip trail to Elizabeth Lake, a glacier-carved lake at the base of Unicorn Peak. There’s a shorter hike through Tuolumne Meadows to Soda Springs.
