That's what I was hoping! It seems there's some debate though as to how this works now (it's changed in the last few years I think) so.. I'll just have to see if we can go on half dome or not. If not then no worries, maybe we'll be able to go back North through Lewis or Fletcher Creek trails. Or maybe spend more time at Clouds Rest. Hopefully we'll be able to have this question answered by a ranger before we start at the trail head. I suppose we could just call a ranger and ask before we even drive to Cali...
