The return trip is 14.2 miles Happy Iceland. The gap is a staggering 4800 meters. The participation rates this hike as agreed "very intensive" and more. Let's go back 10 to 14 hours. You need to physically make them fit for this walk. The road is very steep, mist in the case Vernal and Nevada case. If you do not want the steep climb up John Muir Trail.
If you hike from Glacier Point and the scenic route from the head of the Nevada case, the gap can be significantly reduced. If you do not want to walk up to Glacier Point on the back, go into the fog or the manner of John Muir Happy Iceland. From Glacier Point and ends at Happy Iceland means that either have two cars or someone to start at Glacier Point on the road. Moreover, the path length increases by a mile.
I took the long way, though many people do not dare, across the valley. At that time a crowd was on the summit of Half Dome in half a dozen people. Today istheir part, need to wait to ride the cable car to the summit because it is hundreds of people who are trying to reach the summit on a summer day. I suggest you avoid this hike in late spring or early autumn, some of the crowd.
Do it! The view from the top is totally worth it.
I myself recently. The road is very steep, but my favorite trails in a zigzag. Keep your eyes open, because there are many roots of the trees near the start and will leave runway. There are deer, pheasants, rabbits, snakes and see the dirt. The snakes are harmless, and I have never seen a rattlesnake, although present in Yosemite. The trail is about four miles, but by the time left for the summit early.
I started at four clock in the afternoon and return at ten clock in the evening, but only because there was a way out of our group. If you are a fast hiker, then you should not, but hours.
On the rocks (there are many arrived), then you know you are in your area. In the lower half of the dome has a big pile of gloves to use. I tell you this, or you make your own, because the only way for climbers to get up is not an almost vertical wall a hundred yards on foot. There are two parallel lines which may be carried on aPlank first ten meters, so you can relax when you tire on the rise.
