Half Dome Majesty

Yosemite's iconic granite monolith rises above the valley

Half Dome stands as one of Yosemite's most recognizable landmarks, this massive granite formation showcases the power of glacial carving and geological forces that shaped the Sierra Nevada. Rising nearly 5,000 feet above sea level, Half Dome's distinctive profile has become synonymous with Yosemite National Park and represents the raw beauty of California's high country. The granite face reflects millions of years of geological history, from its formation deep underground to its exposure through erosion and glacial activity.
