Beautiful but Zfuck that!

I have hiked this area a number of times. I have seen mule deer, elk, garter snake, lizards and a number different species of butterflies. I have also seen paw prints of a black bear.

Exactly where can we see them?

❤

How do people think this would be fun?

Safety rope leads for each climber should be required for every person doing this “hike.” For a famous national park monument that attracts tourists from all over the world of widely varying abilities, stamina, and capabilities it is unfathomable that Yosemite NP still allows anyone, no questions asked, to do this route. Safety rope leads should be mandated, checked and enforced. The cables were first installed in 1920, before any modern regulations of safety. To continue to allow the general public to summit such a steep, slick and demanding rock climbing summit is negligent, dangerous, and absurd. Anything less than mandating and enforcing safety rope leads for every climber who wants to summit this route is a failure of responsibility to protect the public.

Fabulous thanks ❤

It's an NPS drone video.

How did you get drone permissions?

Now I know what Smoky the Bear looks like after a close shave.

The water is pretty cold and "swift", yeah I think if fall into that water you are going to have a really bad day.

Bravo chicos!!!

“Can be dangerous “ IT IS DANGEROUS !

Excellent talk by CSU's David Cooper explaining the collapse of the Kawuneeche Valley's wetlands due to overgrazing by elk and moose. Highly recommend checking out the exclosures to see the stark difference between where the willows and beavers are recovering and the rest of the valley that is currently a vast grassland where the Colorado races too quickly out of RMNP.

Install a down section of cable.. fk the natural beauty argument and just do it.. I said do it.. I say again just do it

Never mind.

5:50 ummmm yeah

Good luck wishing someone out of shape does not fall down from Half Dome and take you down with them.

Why is NPS advertising this high-risk mountaineering challenge to the general recreational public as a "day hike"?

Yeah it’s a hike, go ahead weekend families or maybe they shouldn’t call it a hike, should remove the cables and slats, and prevent amateurs from killing themselves

"You (NEED) to prepare and "DRESS!!" as if you we're a (Mountaineer).....Because...it is "STILL!" a "MOUNTAIN 🏔️!".....(get it) ???

You do not have to take the Mist Trail to the top of Nevada Fall. You might consider the Muir Trail instead, at least going up. Longer but a lot less steep; likely less tiring.

So if lightning won't get you, then it's slippery rock and cable. If that will not get you, then dehydration and low on carbs. And if you pass those things, you may stumble and break your ankle on your way down because of 12 hours of up and down hike. And to summarize the "happiness": if you out of fresh flashlight battery, you'll get lost. It looks like this thing is for those who have a death wish.

The filming permit BS is a violation of the first amendment. The parks are the property of the people not the government

Literally no one hikes repeated laps around their local trader joe's for some reason. Just these "boutique" semi wilderness locations.

The pictures of the sod house and the family reminded me that my ancestors settled in what would now be just a couple hours away in a sod house in 1871. It was a very hard life but the opportunity to own their own land made it worth it for them.

This park is definitely worth a visit. You learn about homesteading and what it was like in those days. Many summer weekends. They'll have events like fiddle contests and stuff like that. Very safe. Very clean. Family friendly. Highly recommended

Please don't over develop it. Minimize the roads, buildings, and parking lots and keep it natural.

This park with its fees , permits, and limits becoming attraction for the elites. I'm trying to get a permit for Half Dome 5 th year in a row, and nothing .

Hey my family just completed this hike 5/16/2024 with the cables down, it really wasn’t that bad only took us 3 and a half hours to make it to the top and enjoy all the parts of the most trail. Absolutely beautiful

interseting edition! have a good day,National. ;))

It makes your spine look like Swiss cheese

Looks like Black Friday at Wal-Mart!! No Thanks! For those who took the fast way down, R.I.P. .👍

Is it OK to wear a hat like yours on a visit if you're not a park ranger?

Super 😍

How are they stranded climb it when it’s done lol

The story about the locomotives not supposed to be there is a complete myth - no truth to it at all. Locomotives were assigned to "Divisions" - a section of track between two important stations. Four locomotives pulled Stanford's special, with each one being changed out at each division point. Jupiter was assigned to the Salt Lake Division and thus was placed on Stanford's special, taking over from its sister Leviathan, at the division point in Nevada. It would have been Jupiter pulling the train regardless of whatever might have happened to Antelope in the Sierra Nevadas. Research I performed at the University of Wyoming this year actually proves that the 119 and its Rogers sisters were actually passenger locomotives, not coal freight haulers. A locomotive from Ogden would have been sent out to pick up Durant's special once it reached that division point as well.

i hiked Half Dome in July 2016 as my 1st national park visited completed the hike in 12 hours and is was AMAZING since then, ive followed my journey to visit ALL the US National Parks. i'm at 45 of 63 and plan to be done by July 2026 i wanted to hike Half Dome again 10 years later to finish my journey! really hope i can win the hike lottery then, too!!!

Keep making those videos! Very nicely produced!

Field trip the 70s from memorial middle school Las Vegas New Mexico I can recall the classmates the ride on the bus ,everything 🚌 😀 Sam in Nevada

I did this and quit at vernal falls. Best decision I made.

Wow

Yosemite rangers are the lowest life form on earth.

Wow! I learned so much, thank you

Zzzzzzzz

Permits are not required once they take the steps/poles down on the cables, they hang from November to May. They say "Cables up" when you need permits and the steps/poles are installed, "Cables down" when they just kinda hang there, so you'll need a harness when the cables are "down" but no permit

I hope never to see her again

My husband and I did this back in 1996. I was shocked at how casual some people were about it, some even wearing flip flops! And when going up/down the cables, kids would just go around you on the outside to pass. It was insane! We left two pennies underneath a ledge at the top, with plans to go back up one day to retrieve them. One had a heart cut out of it and the other was the year we were married (1996). Sadly we won't be going back, but I'm grateful we were able to do it. Who know, maybe someone will come across them one day. 🙃

After the recent accident this video seems inadequate. "Can be dangerous" No, climbing Half Dome is dangerous. Walking along the road 'can be dangerous.' If you stumble or if a car swerves you 'could' get hurt. If you stumble on the Half Dome climb you might not be able to recover, you have a significant chance of serious injury or dying. On the cables, why was there no mention of the standard mountain climber rule, "Always have three points of contact." Two feet one hand or if you're walking, two hands because one of your feet will be in the air. In the video from September people were loosely hanging one hand on the cable and sliding down on their rumps. No one who is allowed to get anywhere near the cables should be able to think this is safe. Does this mean no one should be allowed to climb Half Dome? Of course not. I'd like to do it someday. I have climbed via ferrata routes, was on one that didn't require a safety harness. "If you have an intense fear of heights, the cables will present a great challenge to you." If you have any fear of heights on a sailboat, get someone else to go up the mast if that's needed. If you have an 'intense fear of heights" you shouldn't attempt Half Dome. You put yourself and others at risk. When it rains and it gets slick as it did in September, many people didn't seem to know how to go down, so they froze causing a jam. (The way to go down in this condition is to hang onto the cable with both hands so when you slip you are still secure.) When I decided I wasn't going any further on a very dangerous Japanese trail ladder(logs half a meter apart) on Yakushima in the rain, I moved over to the side and waited for the group behind me to pass so I could go back down. At the back of that group was a woman clearly scared out of her mind worried about not keeping up with her friends. She probably made it. I'd have made it -- but it wasn't worth the risk to me. This is also something important I learned from mountain climber Ed Viesturs : have a plan and when the plan stops working, turn around. Everyone should do something where they reach a point and say, It would be best to turn around and then, turn around. He turned around on Annapurna, I turned around and drove home because I forget my life jacket. That's why I wasn't concerned about turning around on that trail in Japan. (Later on that trip bears, a mountain ridge, having to sleep outside a train station.... no problem.) Why not just say what every mountaineer knows: It's more dangerous going down that it is going up. Sorry to be such a crank, but if anyone including people who are physically incompetent are allowed to risk Half Dome then they'll close it and no one will be allowed to climb it.

@RidgeWalletYT I am now traumatized, thanks. Vickie is all like 'come to our park and try out the 12 hour death walk, good luck!'
