Half dome in June

This past June Harvey and I got to hike Half Dome with the young women in our ward.
We hiked from the valley floor to the summit and back in one day...about 21 miles round trip. We went middle of the week hoping to avoid the crowds but that thought process didn't pan out...the trail was packed...ascending the cables took us 50 minutes...it was body to body and pretty nerve racking hanging on the side of a granite cliff...but we made it to the top. It was a wonderful trip...there was still plenty of water... the falls were spectacular.
