parable Valleys highest honors From
the floor of the valley, outlined against
the sky, it towers hugely.
1t needs no maps to convince Te-
hipite explorers that many of its alb
rupt castellated walls excel Yose
mites in height. The sky line is fam
tastically carved into spires and domes
counterpart in gigantic miniature of
the Great Sierra of which it is the
valley climax. The Yosemite measure
of sublimity perhaps lacks, but in its
place is more rugged grandeur,
certain suggestion of vastness and
power unequalled elsewhere. In fact
the floor itself offers no suggestion of
Yosemite's exquisiteness. Instead, it
offers rugged spaciousness. In place
of Yosemite's peaceful woods and
meadows, here are giant-studded thick
cts and mountainous masses of enor-
nous broken talus. Instead of the
quiet winding MERGED here is a surg
| ing, smashing, frothing, cascadng
roaring torrent, several times its vol
ume, which fills the valley with its
turbulence.
Once step foot on the valley floor
and all thought of comparison with
Yosemite vanishes forever. This is
different thing altogether, but thing
in its own way no less superlative in
its distinction. The keynote of the
Tehipite Valley is wild exuberance.
From this it is difficult to differen-
tiat the King River Canyon, which
lies a few miles south. They are
! similar and yet very different. Per-
haps the difference is chiefly that OF
degree. Both lie east and west, with
enormous rocky bluffs rising on eth
er side of rivers of quite extraordi-
nary beauty.
But the outlines of the Kings River
Canyon seem to be softer, the valley
floor broader, the river less heroic.
If the keynote of the Tehipite Valley
is wild exuberance, that Of the Kings
River Canyon is wild beauty. The
one excintes; the other lulls. The
one shares with Yosemite the distinc-
ton of extraordinary outline; the
other shares with Yosemite the dis
tinction of extraordinary charm.
The three valleys are in a class ~
themselves.
