Half Dome September 2003

I went hiking on the Half Dome trail in September 2003. It is a 16-Mile roundtrip from the Happy Isles trailhead in Yosemite Valley.
I stayed overnight at the Little Yosemity Valley campground (5 miles from the start of the trail) and hiked up to the top of Half Dome early the following morning to avoid the heat of the mid-day sun.
The last 400 feet to the top are interesting because they consist of steel cables with occasional wooden foot rests that allow the hiker to pull himself up to the top.
The view from the top is certainly worth it.
