Ke nānā nei i ka Halp Dome
Ināʻaʻoleʻoe he holokai,ʻike waleʻoe i Half Dome mai kahi mamao aku, akā he wahi koʻikoʻi loa ia o ke kahua Yosemite.
ʻO kēia kahi kūpono loa e nānā ai iā Half Dome (a malia paha e hopu i kahi kiʻi aiʻoleʻelua):
- ʻO Cook's Meadow: ʻO ka lāʻau i waenakonu o ke awāwa e hāʻawi mai ana i nā hiʻohiʻona maikaʻi loa o Half Dome aʻaʻole loa eʻike.
- Ke KaiʻOka Moana: Ma ka pūnāwai, i piha ke kai i ka wai, e ola ana ia i kona inoa, me ka Half Dome iʻikeʻia i loko o ke aniani. ʻO ke kai kahi holoʻokoʻa loa mai kahi pae hiʻona # 17
- Wahi Tunnel: Mai ka maka makai ma ke alanuiʻo Wawona ma mua o ke komoʻana i ke koho, hiki iāʻoe keʻike i Half Dome, El Capitan a me Bridalveil hāʻule i loko o ka nānā aku.
- Ke Ala o Sentinel: Mai ke alahaka ma ke kahawaiʻo Merced River kokoke i Yosemite Village, hiki iāʻoe keʻike i ka lepo i hanaʻia i waena o nā lāʻau a nānā i loko o kaʻili o ka muliwai. He maikaʻi loa i ke ahiahi.
- Glacier Point : Ma Glacier Point, eʻikeʻoe i ka Half Dome mai kahi kiʻekiʻe aʻe ma kahi o ka nānāʻana iā ia mai ke kahua pāpū. ʻO kēia kahi kahi kūpono loa eʻike ai i ka wae hilinaʻiʻo Half Dome.
- ʻO Olmstead Point: ʻO kēiaʻike mai kahi o Tioga Road (CA Hwy 120) e hōʻike ana i kaʻaoʻao o Half Dome a me nā manu uila a me ka leka telephoto, hiki iāʻoe keʻike i nā poʻe holokupua e piʻi ana i kahi ala.
Piʻi i ka Half Dome
Hoʻokiʻekiʻe nā holokaʻi i kaʻaoʻao "ʻaoʻao" o Half Dome, kaʻaoʻao i hoʻopuniʻia,ʻaʻole i ka paia pōhaku.
ʻO ka heleʻana he 17 mau mile ka holoʻana i Half Dome mai ke Awawaʻo Yosemite i ka 10 a 12 mau hola, a he 4,800 kapuaʻi ka hopena no ka meaʻoi aku o ka poʻe holoholo,ʻo ia ke piʻi i nā kapuaʻi he 400 ma luna o Half Dome ma kahi alapiʻi me nā kākoʻo kelepona i hana e like me nā lima.
ʻO ka nui o hoʻokahi mau kaukani hoʻokahi o ka lā i hoʻokomoʻia i ka ala e piʻi ai i kaʻaoʻao hope o Half Dome i nā hopena o nā kauwela, e hoʻoulu ai i ka hoʻokipa maikaʻi a me nā kūlana weliweli. I ka makahiki 2010, makemake ka papa i nā mea holoholo a pau e loaʻa ka palapala i mua o ka wā, e ho'ēmi ana i ka Half Dome Trail i 300 mau lā hikaka a me 100 backpackers per day. Hāʻawiʻia nā mana i kēlā me kēia lā o ka pule aʻaʻole e hāʻawiʻia nā mana o ia lā. Eʻike i kahi e kākau inoa ai no kahi ma ka pūnaewele Yosemite.
Lawe i nā kāmaʻa holoka maikaʻi a lawe i ka helehelena koʻikoʻi. Ma luna o kēia nui, ka mīkini paolo pahee,ʻo kahi hana maʻalahi paha hiki ke lilo i kāu hope loa. Mai lawe i kā mākou'ōlelo no ia mea. E heluhelu i ka moʻolelo holokaʻi o ka holokai eʻike maikaʻi i keʻano o ka hike.
ʻO ka hapanui o nā poʻe holomua e hoʻomaka i ko lākou huakaʻi Half Dome mai ka hale hauʻoli Happy Isles, kahi kokoke i ka mile mile mai ke alahele. Hiki iāʻoe ke pana ma ke kauhaleʻo Half Dome, kahi i 3/4 mile ka mamao. Inā e hoʻolālā anaʻoe i kahi hoʻomoana ma kahi kokoke a ma hope paha o kāu Half Dome hike, nā wahi kiʻekiʻe Pines , Lower Pines , a me North Pines Campgrounds ke kokoke aku, akā, mahaloʻia nā mea a pau a ponoʻoe e hoʻolālā i mua.
Hāʻule ka laikini i nā kaula a hoʻopuni i ka Half Dome Trail i ka manawa kūpono, ma ka papaʻelua iʻOkakopa.
Ke piʻi hou nei nā kaula - keʻaeʻia nei - e pili ana i ka hopena hope loa o Mei. E kipa i kā lākou pūnaewele no ka nui o nāʻike maikaʻi - a me ka papa inoa o nā mea e pono aiʻoe e lawe pū meʻoe.
