Comments and Context
In Charles C. Myers’s own words, “Here is the large rock called the Half Dome as we see it from the Sentinel Hotel, this is the highest rock of this vicinity, it is 9000ft above sea level and 5000ft above the Valley. its massive front is cleft straight down for a distance of 2000ft and the fractured face turned outward is polished by wind and storm. Milton wrote of “A Rock piled up to the clouds conspicuous afar,” and this describes the Half Dome as it dominates the Valley from almost every point.”
