AMR Trains #39: Hiking Half Dome in Yosemite National Park

Part adventure, part friendship, part inspiration. Complementing the Half Dome recap post, Dimity talks to Joann Verweij and Jessica Johnston—the J-Team—about hiking the iconic orb in Yosemite National Park. Among other things, the trio lays out: —Optimal training for the 17-mile, 4,800 foot hike (stairs! lots of stairs!); —The logistics of having a successful and joy-filled long day on the trail; —How to navigate the final 400 feet of cables up the rock face; —And why a big adventure is just as—if not more—satisfying than crossing a finish line.
