Summary

Sequoia National Park, California. West from Moro Rock along the cliffs bordering the platform on which the Giant Forest stands. Part of the Giant Forest is seen at the right. The cliffs are of sparsely jointed granite that is exfoliating very slowly and rather irregularly. Similar massive granite outcrops elsewhere on the platform indicate that the whole platform is made up largely of this durable material. It is, no doubt, to this circumstance that the platform, a remnant of an ancient erosion surface, owes its preservation. Circa 1935. Figure 7, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 504-A.
