Description:
According to GNIS: In Yosemite National Park, located on the middle course of Bridalveil Creek.
The meadow is named for a 1957 incident where a lost girl, Shirley Ann Miller, met a bear. After three days lost, she gave an account of her wanderings saying she was not lost, but she met a bear who was. When the bear reached its hand and put it on her head, she swatted the bear with her spoon, sending it way. This was recounted in a July 7, 1957 Los Angeles Hearld and Express article
