[at-l] Knife Edge

[kdpo at gottawalk.com (Ken Powers)]

Ahh, Tenaya Canyon below Clouds Rest. Take a ride up to Glacier Point for
the overview either before or after your hike to Clouds Rest. One of my
favorite scenes in all the outdoors. And you can buy the poster for your
office wall.

Skeeter, have you ever camped on Clouds Rest. I have seen tents up there,
but I dont think I could do it. Something about those huge granite walls
below.
