Summary

Yosemite National Park, California. Sugar Loaf and Bunnell Point, viewed from Moraine Dome. From this angle, Sugar Loaf is seen to be a dome-crowned spur of the north wall of Little Yosemite Valley. It has been repeatedly overridden by the Merced Glacier but has escaped destruction because it is composed largely of massive rock. Beyond is the exfoliating cliff of the promontory known as Bunnell Point. To the left of it, in the distance, are the ice-smoothed rock benches that flank the upper gorge of the Merced River. Circa 1914. Plate 45-B, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 160.
