Indian Caves (Half Dome)
(N 37° 44.683' W 119° 33.291')
Description:
INDIAN CAVES are shelters used by the Indians in time of storm or attack and are located along the north valley wall between the Ahwahnee Hotel and Mirror Lake. The “caves” were formed by huge boulders which piled one on the other, leaving spaces with solid rock roofs. Ansel Hall gives Indian names for the caves as “Hol-low”, without translation, or sometimes “Lah-koo-hah”, which he translates as meaning, “come out.” Yosemite Valley Place Names (1955) by Richard J. Hartesveldt
