Dubai Crown Prince Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum has photos and video clips of his hiking trip in Yosemite National Park in California on Instagram.



The sport-enthusiastic Crown Prince shared details of his trek to the peak of Half Dome at the California National Park.



Sheikh Hamdan took almost 9 hours to reach the peak of Half Dome covering a distance of 34.49 km.



The trek to Half Dome is challenging. Rising nearly 5,000 feet above Yosemite Valley and 8,800 feet above sea level, Half Dome is a Yosemite icon and a great test for many hikers.



Though it is advised only for seasoned mountaineers, but a physically fit person can trek after obtaining a permit for trekking.
