Sometimes pictures say more then words. It was always on my bucketlist to picture half dome in Yosemite at dusk.
The point to make these scenary pictures is from Glacier Point which can be visited by car, so you don't have to be a pro-hiker to make unique pictures in Yosemite NP :)
From Yosemite Valley drive towards Wawona Rd and after a mile or 6 -7 turn left on Glacier Point Rd. Follow this road all the way up till the end where you will find Glacier Point trailhead. From here it is a 1-2 minute walk to the scenary balcony.
