Think you know how Yosemite’s most famous landmark was made? Think again! Almost everyone (including many grown ups!) think a massive glacier sliced Half Dome clean in half like an apple. We love busting myths around here, so join us while we discover what ACTUALLY HAPPENED to Half Dome!

Discover how a single underground crack, a glacier "ice bulldozer," and a process called "onion-peeling" shaped this iconic mountain. Plus, play a game of "Guess That Park Sound" and see who wins the ultimate face-off: El Capitan or Half Dome!

🎒Scout mission included! Experience our fun mission thats great for trips or the backyard with your family.
