Travel guide of Half Dome
Once we got to the top of the Half Dome, I quickly found this spot and asked my wife to go to the edge of the cliff and pose there. I got a confident NO and had to switch roles. That rare case when I’m a model and my wife is a photographer. It played pretty well.
During a road trip to California with my wife and 6-month old son, we ventured into Yosemite park to capture this memory. It was quite the memory!
Before the first person climbed to the top of the Half Dome in 1875, it was considered impossible to do. And then a man named George Anderson made it all the way to the top by drilling into the rock so that he could anchor bolts along the way to help him climb. . A set of cables now line the last, almost-vertical four hundred feet of the trail, anchored into the same holes Anderson drilled in the 19th century. His climb has enabled many others to accomplish the same test of strength.
When we arrived at Inspiration Point midmorning, we were a bit disappointed that the smoke from the nearby wildfire was so thick that visibility was poor. However, as the day went on, the smoke lifted and the visibility improved.

Since we were hiking down from Inspiration Point, we needed to wait until the next morning to catch the shuttle up. So we spent the rest of our first day in the park exploring the valley. We got lucky with a beautiful sunset.

It’s hard to capture the magnitude of this beautiful mountain. Taken from Sentinel Dome.
