General Account
show unmistakable and
perfect evidence of
glacial polish. Much
of this floor is covered
with large boulders
"erratics". The little
ridges and walls
are interesting. None of
them are over 100 ft high
but the interesting fact
lies in that they all run
in an east west direction.
They are of course not
continous being broken
up by the streams,
lakes and the larger
ridges forming at the
edges of the valley. The
high mountains forming
an almost complete ring
around the valley give
one an idea of a large
amphitheater. From Lake
S.A. we went east
to the three lake situated
just below Lake S.A. and skirting
these, and thence to the trail
down the canyon or valley to
camp.
