Hiking up Half Dome

The hike up Half Dome in Yosemite is not a quick or easy hike since it towers nearly 5000ft above the floor of Yosemite Valley! It's a perfect hike for those looking for a fun and adventurous challenge!

Gear for the Hike

Obviously for a hike like this, you'll want to make sure you have enough food, water, and the right gear.

Sun Protection with RIGZ Gear

Protecting your face and neck from the sun is particularly important since you'll often be hiking on exposed rock faces. Our RIGZ hats and RIGZ neck gaiters are great options for a hike like Half Dome. In fact, our friend took along some of our RIGZ hats to protect their faces from the sun while they made the intense hike up Half Dome.

Successful Hike up Half Dome!

Some of our friends hiking up Half Dome in Yosemite National Park (RIGZ Gear).

As you likely know, Half Dome is about a 15 mile hike up nearly 4800 feet, so it's a full day hike for most people (10 hours or so). Because of this, our friends left early in the day so that they could get a good start before the sun became too intense.

They pushed it out and were able to make it to the top! They took a couple of great photos along the way to document their hike and the beautiful views! Hard to beat the views that they came upon.

The views along the portion of the hike with the cables were particularly interesting and really demonstrate how steep this hike really was (very steep).

Protect your skin from the wind and sun with a RIGZ neck gaiter, which comes in many different pattern options.

Remember, make sure you prepare whenever going out on a long hike. This includes having adequate food, water, knowledge of the terrain, review of the weather, and having the right gear.
