Text Appearing Before Image: EFORE the restored Tioga Road made accessible the magnificent mountain and valley area constituting the northern half of the Yosemite National Park, this pleasure paradise was known to none except a few enthusiasts who penetrated its wilderness year after year with camping outfits. This is the region of rivers and lakes and granite domes and brilliantlypolished glacial pavements. The mark of the glacier is seen on every hand.It is the region of small glaciers, remnants of a gigantic past, of which thereare several in the park. It is the region of rock-bordered glacier lakes ofwhich there are more than two hundred and fifty. It is the region, above all,of small, rushing rivers and of the roaring, foaming, twisting Tuolumne. From the base of the Sierra crest, born of its snows, the Tuolumne Riverrushes westward roughly paralleling the Tioga Road. Midway it slantssharply down into the Tuolumne Canyon forming in its mad course a waterspectacle destined some day to world fame. Text Appearing After Image: Photograph by H. C.
