DAY TWO
Swim in Mirror Lake before starting a very steep climb. The strenuous hike is worth it. You’ll camp on the edge of a stunning cliff, directly across from Half Dome’s face! Watch hikers descend from the dome as the sun hangs low in the sky.

DAY THREE
Stop at Indian Rock to admire a rare granite arch. Journey on to North Dome, a legendary view 3,500 feet above the valley floor.
As the valley grows dark, spot the gleaming headlamps of courageous climbers who will spend the night hanging on the face of Half Dome! Other adventurers ignite distant campfires across the mountains, miles away.
7.5 miles, +1,760 ft | -800 ft
DAY FOUR
A short climb brings you to Yosemite point. Bravely stand on the edge of a cliff and study the bustling valley floor under your shoes. Cross over the top of Yosemite Falls, the tallest in North America! Descend all 2,500 feet through the thundering spray.
In the valley once more, the towering cliffs surround and embrace you. You’ve made it through one of Yosemite’s greatest adventures!
