Shrinking
Situated in Tenaya Canyon directly between North Dome and Half Dome, Mirror Lake is the last remnant of a large glacial lake that once filled most of Yosemite Valley at the end of the last Ice Age. It is shrinking, and is close to disappearing, due to accumulated sediment from Tenaya Creek that runs through it.
Thanks for stopping by and for all of your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.
We are back from our short wintery visit to Yosemite Valley, and I hope to catch up within the next few days.
