United States California Dome
Half Dome
An iconic granite rock formation in Yosemite National Park known for its distinct shape and popular among hikers and climbers.
Tips from the community
One of the most awe-inspiring granite monoliths in the Yosemite Valley is arguably easier to conquer than it would seem. Sure, you will have to scramble across a death-defying drop whilst holding on to a handrail in one section but, in the end, it’s actually a not-too-difficult peak to conquer.
Reaching the 2682m-high peak of Half Dome is certainly an exhilarating affair of its own accord, yet it’s the views from the top that make for the best rewards of all.
