This is exactly why I don’t hike Half Dome cables.

Those cables are freaky. Probably the most terrified I have ever been in my life

Going up was a lot easier than coming down

Nope not the cables to the top of Half Dome. You have to apply for a lottery and select a few dates that would work for you.

Lottery? You can't just show up and go?



Some federal parks are basically filled with people all the time. Japanese tourists freaking love them.

Not planning on doing any hiking on Half Dome, probably just hang out on Yosemite Valley and maybe do a hike that's a bit more tame.
