Is Cloud's Rest the Best View in Yosemite?

[@dbs10]

Amazing landscape! Very very beautiful place. Thanks to share, Sir!

Just wanted to thank you for making these videos! I went with a friend to Yosemite for the first time a week ago, and got inspired by your day hikes for 1-5 days in Yosemite video to do this hike instead of Half Dome. I'm not the strongest hiker, so it was pretty difficult, but the feeling of accomplishment at the end was so incredible, and the views are something I will never forget. I'm looking forward to going back and doing some other other hikes you have featured!

I am so glad my videos helped you plan your trip, glad to hear it was a good one!

Stumbled across your channel planning our summer hiking trips, and glad I did! Clouds looks amazing! Hiked Yosemite of bunch of years ago but didn't get to that area. Hopefully we can still get out there this summer🤞🏼. Great shots of the area and nice channel sir👍🏻!

Thanks! Looks like you've been to some pretty awesome spots yourself. :-) I plan to stay completely out of Yosemite Valley if I can this year haha but most of the hikes I like are up top. :-)

Backcountry Pilgrim Tioga was closed a few years ago when we were there. Plan on spending a week up there next time we go. Could be ugly at the parks when they open them up again.😬

@@TheMountainMatt yeah the last time I was there we camped at a place about 30 minutes from the Tioga Valley split. It made for a lot of driving each day but it was worth it to not have to go down into the valley. I've been in traffic jams in the valley just in normal summertime that killed 3 hours.

Not for the faint-hearted. That hike is no joke!

[@BackcountryPilgrim]

One of the best payoff hikes in Yosemite!

Is the spine as scary as it looks?

[@BackcountryPilgrim]

Nah. You'd have to really blow it to fall. :)

@BackcountryPilgrim Thank you! I don't have interest in Half Dome but Clouds Rest intrigues me.

[@BackcountryPilgrim]

@NeeNeeMarie77 It's better in some ways for sure.
