We present preliminary results from a new high resolution optical study of halo gas at the coudé focus of the Canada - France - Hawaii Telescope. Our work is still in progress so two general results are presented here: significant absorption is produced in interstellar gas beyond 500 pc from the galactic plane, and well-resolved halo clouds are identified.
