Summary

Sequoia National Park, California. East across Kern Canyon in the vicinity of the Kern Canyon Ranger Station. The light-colored spur on the left is granite; the gray tongue-like mass on the right is a lava flow of basalt that cascaded down from the valley of Golden Trout Creek. At the near edge of the lava flow, Golden Trout Creek has incised a deep slot-like gorge in the basalt and in the granite underneath. At the upper left is a rocky promontory; in the saddle behind it, 1,500 to 1,600 feet above the floor of Kern Canyon, occurs a moraine of El Portal Stage. Circa 1935.
