Just below the clouds. From this position you can see the land below

Mount Everest our tallest mountain is 29,028 feet. 34.000 to 35000 feet is taller than Mt Everest. It is where some planes fly. It is where we can not breath. There are many types of clouds that are at different heights. Fog is on the earth clouds. Cirrus clouds are ice crystals very high.35000 feet is really high and is above most of the clouds. Thunder heads go up 5 miles.

There's different types of clouds and some of them are very low down and others are very high up. At 35,000 feet you would be above all but the very highest of the clouds.
Those very thin and wispy clouds you sometimes see are very high up (at least 20,000 feet). Because they're so high and it's very cold the clouds are made of ice crystals. See picture http://www.carlwozniak.com/clouds/Graphics/New%20Pix/clouds10.jpg
Clouds are given names depending how high they are and the highest ones are called Cirrus clouds.
For comparison, 30 to 35,000 feet is the height a jet aircraft flies at and if you want to find out more about clouds this website will help... http://www.carlwozniak.com/clouds/

35000 ft = 6.6288 miles, which is high enough for us to die for lack of oxygen, but not that high considering it would only take a car travelling at 55 mph 7 minutes or so to drive up that distance, if it could. And it's not even into the stratosphere yet! The stratosphere begins at 14 miles, if I recall correctly. The only clouds that go that high are nacreous clouds.
EDIT: Oh, sorry. it's 14 km, or 8 miles.

That is about the height of the tropopause in mid latitudes. You can easily get cirriform clouds at that altitude and the tops of cumulonimbus clouds as well. In the tropics, the tropopause is higher and clouds go to 50.000ft or more. In polar regions 15-20,000ft would be the limit for clouds in the troposphere.

Depends on the clouds. Some cumulus go to 40,000 or more, but by then they are seriously affected by the jet streams. This is one of the things that makes whopper thunderstorms. High Cirrus clouds are even farther up, and are actually composed of ice.

That's quite a ways above most cloud cover. Clouds form anywhere from under 6000 ft. to over 25000 ft. depending upon type, though.

both...not only is it high enough that the oxygen level won't support human life but it is also so cold that you would freeze to death before you could take a breath. This is for those brilliant people who think that they can parachute out of a commercial aircraft(this is their cruising altitude).

34,000 feet IS really high, and it IS above most clouds too (most aircraft don't fly above that- either. So it's really "up there").

300miles is how high the ground is from space so 1 mile is how many feet do that math
