Yeah not a good idea. Cloud rest sits up pretty high altitude wise.

Just left, smoke was too much to handle.

I mean as long as you don’t have asthma and don’t mind he view looking like the 50th floor from a Beijing high rise then you can do it.

We noticed the fire when we drove in on Sunday. By Tuesday it got much worse. We drove up to glacier point and saw the heavy smoke and haze in the Valley. When we got back down into the Valley, Half Dome was hidden behind smoke from Tunnel View and ash was raining down. I woke up Tuesday morning in Upper Pines with serious upper respiratory issues and we made the call to leave Tuesday night.
