Description

Yosemite's Half Dome, one of the most famous rock formations in the world, has inspired photographers, writers and artists for hundreds of years. None of which compares to the very first view a visitor has of a distant view with Half Dome looming over Yosemite Valley. Once Yosemite guests grow accustom to the immensity of the valley, its shear walls and magnificent cliffs, many go on to experience Half Dome from various points in the park. Only then is it revealed that Half Dome isn't really a half dome at all, but nearly 80 percent of the formation remains. But from a head-on view from Ahwahnee Meadow, the shear face of Half Dome is what leads to the name of the famous landmark.
