Description:
Said to be named on account of a snow-patch that was the last to go in summer and which resembled a bearskin. (J. B. Agnew.)
“We now descend to Bearskin Meadow, a sheet of purple-topped grasses enameled with violets, gilias, larkspurs, potentillas, ivesias, columbine, etc.; parnassia and sedges in the wet places, and majestic trees crowding forward in proud array to form a curving border, while Little Boulder Creek, a stream twenty feet wide, goes humming and swirling merrily through the middle of it.” (Muir: A Rival of the Yosemite, in Century Magazine, November, 1891, p. 79.) From Place Names of the High Sierra (1926)
by Francis P. Farquhar
From GNIS: Bearskin Creek: 3 mile long tributary of Tenmile Creek.
