Geologic Trip, Kings Canyon NP North Dome During the Pleistocene
glacial episodes, glaciers extended from
the High Sierra westward down the South Fork of the Kings River as far as Cedar Grove Village. The granitic rocks along the sides of the valley were scraped, plucked
and polished by the glaciers, forming a variety of waterfalls, steep cliffs,
domes and spires similar to Yosemite Valley. From Zumwalt Meadows and Roads End there are good
views of this glaciated part of Kings Canyon. This photograph of North Dome
was taken from Roads End. Exterior Websites National Park Service: Wikipedia:
