This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1921 Excerpt: ... sunrise reflections in "Mirror Lake." This lakelet evidently occupies the lowermost of the glacial steps. It is a mere reminder of its former size, the delta of Tenaya Creek having stolen a mile from its upper end. Farther up the canon, below and above Mt. Watkins, stream sediment has already turned other lakelets into meadows. But eight miles east of Yosemite, at the head of the canon, Tenaya Lake not only presents one of the most fascinating views in the whole Park, but also recalls, in its polished granite walls and domes and pavements a very different scene, --a picture of the old Tuolumne Glacier, split against the east front of Mt. Hoffman, and sending part of its immense ice-flood down Tuolumne Canon, to quarry Hetch Hetchy, and the rest over the low divide into the Tenaya basin, to form the main ice supply of Tenaya Glacier and help excavate Yosemite Valley. The deeply plowed track and surprising work of this glacier are well shown in the illustrations given on pp. 16, 27, and 49. Thus Tenaya Canon forms no exception. Its narrowness between Clouds Rest and Mt. Watkins, seen in Prof. Le Conte's pictures on page 46, is plainly due to the solidity of the huge inclined strata of the former, and the fact that the latter is a single block of massive granite, rising as high, as sheer and as unbroken as El Capitan, which it greatly resembles. The striking contrast Tenaya Canon thus presents to Yosemite Valley is lucidly set forth by Dr. F rati-Sentinel Dome, on the Plntenu nbove YoNemite Vnlley, Nouth of-p - M, ., .U Sentinel Rock.
