Sequoia National Park, California. North side of Mount Hitchcock, viewed across Whitney Canyon. An unusually fine series of parallel avalanche chutes is shown here. These chutes have been formed across a system of vertical joint fractures in the granite; their positions are not determined by master joints extending parallel to their axes. The chutes all terminate at the upper limit of glacial action, below which the canyon wall is straight, although it is hackled in detail by glacial sculpturing. Circa 1935.
