Summary

Yosemite National Park, California. Upper part of Tenaya Creek Canyon, viewed from Upper Quarter Dome. Though severely glaciated, this part of Tenaya Canyon is shaped not like a U trough but like a sharp-keeled boat. In the center is one of the steps of massive granite. At the left is a buttress of Mount Watkins. In the distance is part of the great head wall. The Tenaya Cascade is masked by the rock slopes of Clouds Rest on the right. Circa 1913. Plate 46-A, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 160.
