Last weekend I took a break from the kids and got to spend a memorable weekend with 8 other thirty-something guys in Yosemite. We camped at Upper Pines in Yosemite Valley and hiked from the valley floor up to Half dome and back in a single day - 12 1/2 hours! Half Dome is known as Yosemite's "most demanding day hike", and I wholeheartedly agree. The funnest part of the hike are the infamous Half Dome cables that offer assistance with the last 400 feet. Fortunately nobody got seriously hurt, although we all felt our age the next day. I rank this hike up there with the Otter Trail and Table Mountain in South Africa... absolutely worth doing! There are some more photos in my Facebook album.
