Clouds Rest is a mountain in Yosemite National Park east northeast of Yosemite Village, California. Although there are many peaks in the park having far greater elevation, Clouds Rest's proximity to the valley gives it a very high degree of visual prominence.
As usual,Trail好得没话说,一路有几处分叉去不同的地方,标记得非常清楚。Yosemite的指示牌和其他地方不一样,它们是在铁牌上镂空地名和距离,而且常会冒出在TH你看不到的新地方,很会撩拨人的心,你会想,哦,原来从这里还可以去这个地方,纠结的心也就跟着来了。我们顺着路牌,经过了Sunrise Lakes的Fork,所见徒步者早已超过了20(唉,我又输了一份冰激凌!),上上下下后到了长长的ridge,“one of Yosemite's most stunning and wide-ranging 360-degree panoramic views”开始了。照例让人喜欢的花岗岩的路,一直带你到顶峰。再看看,坐着的、站着的,走来走去的,还有趴着晒太阳的,男男女女、老老少少,不下20人吧,我们就在顶峰的“平台”就近找了一处开始我们的Summit Snack,此时一只肥肥的Marmot赚了我们不少照片。在Peak上只有Panorama Video没做(人太多),稍作停留,我们就开始下山了,此时有一景值得一提:刚离开就看到一群上来的年轻人,竟然有穿着束腰的及地长裙的漂亮女生款款而来,头后戴着电影里才看到的小白帽,真是养眼,我就叫起来,你看,穿着裙子爬山的,而且是长裙!可是没想到,这不是唯一的,原来这个group里的女生都是同样的装扮,她们要这样走20多公里啊,不能不感叹年轻就是好!下山到一半,数过的人数就到了100,罢了罢了,不数了,我是彻底完败!
站在峰顶,Half Dome Cable,看到了吗?当然!上上下下的人都进了博士的取景框。心痒痒的同时,哪里会想到,几天后,我们竟有机会也成了他人眼中的风景呢?!

Tenaya Peak is a mountain in the Yosemite high country, rising above Tenaya Lake. Tenaya Peak is named after Chief Tenaya, who met the Mariposa Battalion near the shores of the Tenaya lake. The Mariposa Battalion under Captain John Boling expelled Chief Tenaya and his people from what was to become Yosemite National Park.
