Overview

  • For hiking enthusiasts, the trek to Yosemite’s Half Dome is a rite of passage — one that many hikers prepare for with training. Take the strenuous challenge on a full-day guided hike to the top of Yosemite National Park’s iconic landmark. Your expert Yosemite guide provides you with safety gear, and coaches you throughout the 12-hour day to make sure that you reach the summit safely. The physically challenging hike to the top of Half Dome is suitable for athletic adults who want to attempt this legendary trek that includes a hair-raising climb up a dizzying cable route.

    IMPORTANT: Hikers must obtain a permit to hike Half Dome. The supplier may have a permit depending on time of departure. To apply for a permit yourself, the Half Dome Permit Application Process is from March 1–31, and done through recreation.gov.

Activity itinerary

Yosemite Valley

  • 5m
  • Admission ticket not included
All tour participants will enter Yosemite National Park in their own vehicles or with public transportation. Our guides will meet you at specified locations agreed upon when you book your tour.

Half Dome

  • 13h
Our guide will meet you at the trailhead parking for an orientation to begin your epic Half Dome adventure. From there, we begin by joining the John Muir Trail just past Happy Isles. We move to the Mist Trail for astonishing views of Vernal Fall and Nevada Fall as we climb giant granite steps. We rejoin the JMT above Nevada along the Merced River for a gentle section of sandy trail. From there it's a steady climb up steep trail until we reach Sub Dome. On Sub Dome, you will be challenged with a steep staircase of granite rock followed by steep slabs of granite until we reach the cables. At the cables, our guide will give a safety orientation and describe our techniques for a successful summit. Once we reach the summit of Half Dome, we celebrate with photos and enjoy our lunch from breathtaking locations. We typically spend 45 minutes on the summit then prepare for the long journey back down the same way.
