CLOUDS REST (via Sunrise Trailhead)

Hiking Guide Photos 1 2

A second big uphill push takes us onto the Clouds Rest ridgeline.

Looking down an amazing granite chute into Tenaya Canyon.

And an amazing section of granite slabs coming off of the peak...

Nearing the exposed summit of Clouds Rest! The narrow slabs may be intimidating to some hikers...

A group of hikers makes their way up to the summit. (Tenaya Lake, the starting point of this hike, can be seen far in the distance.)

The classic viewpoint from the top of Clouds Rest. Half Dome has a very unique look from this angle.

A closer look at Half Dome showing off the Subdome and the lighter line of the cables route.
