William and Maymie Kimes Annotation
""Among all the unlooked for treasure bound up and hidden away in the Alpine solitudes of the Sierra, none so surely charm and surprise all kinds of travelers as the glacial lakes."" In this discussion of the formation and length of life of glacial lakes, numerous delightfully descriptive examples are given.
