coulds rest trail

“is it possible to skirt the top of clouds rest instead of going to the top and pass on through to yosemite valley?”

“Which direction are you coming from and which trail? well...it might be possible. I believe you actually have to turn off of the main traial to up to Clouds Rest. If you are on the JMY you can bypass it completely and head on down to the valley. Buy the Yosemite National Parl Trails Illustrated map by Nat'l Geo.”
