An amazing birthday experience to hike up Half Dome in Yosemite National Park!
Recommendations:
apply for cables permit on weekdays, less crowds
bring gloves for holding onto cable
using hiking poles bc it’s steep
don’t bring hiking poles on cables bc you will poke people
start the hike EARLY! No later than 6am
bring rain jacket for waterfalls
go up Most trail and down JMT bc it’s easier on the knees
stop at the Happy trail campsite for water refill
