Yosemite Valley in California is one of the most stunning and exciting places on earth. John Muir described it by saying “it is by far the grandest of all the special temples of Nature I was ever permitted to enter.” If Muir's quote doesn't bring out your inner adventurer then nothing will! Hiking Half Dome is one of those extraordinary adventures that is both terrifying and electric, something that you will remember for the rest of your life. Hike any of Yosemite's over 800 miles of trail with up to 5,000 feet in elevation gain. Or if you're exceptionally adventurous rock climb the 3,000 foot face of El Capitan, a bucket list item for any climber. Most activities in Yosemite are free, minus the sweat equity that goes into hiking and climbing!
