There are few mountains that can be instantly recognized because of their shape. This is one of them. Half Dome looks like it was split in two somewhere along the way, but it really wasn't. That's just the shape of the mountain at this point.
It's about 5,000 feet from the valley floor to the top of the Half Dome. That puts the mountain's altitude at more than 8,6440 feet. You can hike it if you are good, but keep in mind that it takes from 10 to 14 hours to do it.
You took can take this dramatic photo while visiting Yosemite. There's a meadow near the Ahwahnee Hotel. Take a walk to the middle and look up. This is the view. Aim and shoot.
