The Half Dome cables will not be in place over the May 21-23 permit period.
Snowpack in the Yosemite high country is currently well above average. As a result, the Half Dome cable route and subdome are covered in deep snow. For the safety of employees setting up the cables and for hikers, the cables will not be put up until conditions improve. We will issue an expected opening date as soon as possible. If you have a permit for May 21-23, you will receive a refund for the reservation fee.
