The High Sierra: Peaks, Passes, and Trails

By R.J. Secor. The High Sierra hiking/climbing guidebook. Amazingly exhaustive. An indispensible trip planning aid.

In July, 2000, Kim and I dayhiked Clouds Rest from Tenaya Lake. Next to Half Dome, this may be the most popular summit in the park, and judging from the summit views, this is not surprising. The 9900'+ peak lies in the geographic center of Yosemite, and every major peak is visible on a clear day.
