My brother got lucky and won the lottery to hike to the top Half Dome on June 27. I got even more lucky because he invited me to join him. We left Happy Isles trailhead around 5:30am, summited around 12:30 and got back to the car by 7pm. It was a long hike, and we took it slow. There was a lot of water flowing down the waterfalls and the weather was perfect all day. #activity #hiking source
