Another Yosemite Valley

Zumwalt Meadow Trail, S Fork Kings River, Kings Canyon NP (10/30/21) Bin Lin

Bet you didn’t know that there are three “Yosemite Valleys” in California:  Yosemite, Hetch Hetchy and Kings Canyon.

A “Yosemite” valley is the geologic term for a glacier-carved, U-shaped valley. California has three, though there are others on Earth.

This past Saturday, Bin Lin visited one of them … Kings Canyon, just as it was at peak.
