Has anyone looked at a Toulumne Meadows map and seen the red lettering warning hikers not to hike in Tenaya canyon because it is extremely dangerous. Does anyone know why it is any more dangerous than the 300 other valleys and canyons in Yosemite?
I figure it must be the rodents of unusual size but I'd welcome a more educated guess.

Tenaya canyon can flood very easily and you also need a rope to do rappels to get down it. And you pretty much can't go up it.

I'm pretty sure Tenaya Canyon is where they send all the bad bears. You know the ones that visit the camp grounds every night and break into everyone's cars. Not that it's the bear's fault as much as it is human's, but they can't say around, so the rangers catch them and take them up there. If they find their way down the rangers then have to kill them. The bear is then given to local Indians. This is what I was told by someone in Yosemite.

Oh man, Lazy girl. The bear is given to Indians? They relocate bears a lot further off than Tenaya.
Tenaya Canyon is, as said, accessible only by roped technique. It has a lot of unstable rock as well. It's not "unsafe" per se, but it's not an NPS recommended area. This means your basic moron shouldn't be wandering around in the gentle wilderness of the Sierra.
