What: Hike Half Dome (or just do anything that terrifies you a little). Where: Yosemite National Park, California, USA. How: While this climb is a famous day hike, I recommend backpacking to the base and camping overnight. Your circadian clock will thank you for evenings around a campfire and morning sunlight filtered through trees. Backpacking also allows you a head start to beat the midday crowds on your ascent and descent of the Half Dome Cables. When: The sooner the better! Every footstep on that trail makes the granite more smooth, increasing the challenge year by year. Note: the cables are only up during summertime months, roughly May through October. Why: Doing something that terrifies you requires great preparation, but allows you to bask in the achievement forever. âI DID THAT!â
