Originally posted by The Feral Slasher View Postit was super cool ! I've been to almost all the big National Parks, never been to Yosemite before. Due to family schedule changes we only were able to spend about an hour and a half in the valley. It was amazing, reminded me of Zion in some ways. We drove thru from Tioga Pass which is 9950 feet and it was cloudy, drizzly and nasty. But a beautiful 2 hour drive to get to Yosemite Valley. It was perfect weather there, but late in the day so no time for hiking or relaxing. Just happy to see it after all these years.I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert...

At that time, they did not have the cables and wood steps set up the way they do now. They did have one steel cable lying on the rock. I was dead tired from hiking through snow to the peak, and I was scared that if I slipped I was going to end up on the valley floor a few thousand feet below, so I stopped there.
I was hiking with two friends. One of them went to the top and two of us chickened out and stopped at the red X on the photo. Pretty soon after we chickened out, a 20-something blonde northern European girl came up hiking up and went right up the cables, shaming us both.
It was an amazing hike. You start out by hiking up past Vernal Falls and Nevada Falls, and then you leave the river and go around the back side of Half Dome to climb to the top. Would definitely do again. Would probably chicken out at the same place."Jesus said to them, 'Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you.'"

Apparently they now require permits to hike Half Dome? This pic is crazy to me. When we hiked it I think my two friends and I and the European girl were the only hikers up there. I think we maybe met one other small group coming down the mountain as we were on the way up. But it was nothing like this.

I went up to about where the guy with the blue backpack is, about half way up the line. At that point the granite gets steeper and I decided I would rather continue to live and descended back to where the guy with the red backpack is standing."Jesus said to them, 'Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you.'"
