Naomi's Half Dome Experience 09/08/2007

Hello WMR'S, Id like to share my 21-mile (round trip) hike/ run Half Dome experience. The climb up was challenging, yet not too difficult to hike. The view from top of Half Dome was just spectacular. I recommend to anybody that has the chance to go for it. It was an experience I will never forget. Hope you enjoy the photos.
