Summary

Sequoia National Park, California. Northwest from the main Sierra crest across the upper Kern Basin to the Great Western Divide. An ancient erosion surface is preserved on the summits of Mount Whitney (foreground) and Mount Young, the adjacent peak. Other, younger erosion surfaces form the plateaus bordering the Kern Canyon. Numerous cirques scallop the main Sierra crest and the Great Western Divide. Photo by R. Curtis. Figure 10, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 504-A.
