In mid April, I'm attending a wedding in the Yosemite area. While I'm out there, I'm planning to escape for a day to hike Half Dome via the cables route.
I've read the Half Dome page on SP but I'm still a little unclear about a couple of things. First, what is the approx r/t length of the hike from the Happy Isles trailhead? Also, how long should I expect the hike to take in mid April when the cables are down?
Any other comments or advice always appreciated as well. Thanks.
