about the Cover
Continuing our tribute to our nation’s national parks this Bar year, this issue’s cover features a photo of the iconic
Half Dome at Yosemite National Park in California, taken by our very own President Gordon Hill, on a trip with his
family this July. The Half Dome rises nearly 5,000 feet above the Yosemite Valley and is a popular and challenging
destination for hikers.
