Yosemite's Half Dome: A Hiking Guide

Rick Deutsch

4.9/5 (15672 ratings)

Description:Yosemite National Park in California is filled with natural treasures. The signature landmark for the park is the 8,842 foot granite rock called Half Dome. Hiking to the top is a strenuous ordeal, taking from 10- to 12-hours. It is one of the most popular hikes in the park. Until now, there has been little information available to help prepare the hiker for this superb one-day adventure. Typical coverage in other guides consists of only one- to two- pages on the Half Dome hike. This is not a rock climbing or mountaineering guidebook; rather it is written with the "weekend warrior" mind. Almost anyone can do this strenuous hike with proper preparation, conditioning and desire. Seasoned adventure traveler, author Rick Deutsch, will help you every step of the way. This is a big hike. It is classed by the NPS as "extremely strenuous". The climax is a 425 foot vertical trek at nearly a 45 degree angle, aided only by steel cables acting as a banister. The view from the top of Yosemite Valley is awesome and worth the sore muscles yo will endure the next day. "Yosemite´s Half A Hiking Guide" is a great resource that will assist visitors in their preparation. 68 pages of "user friendly" advice were gleaned from the author´s 17 ascents of Half Dome.
