	hanging valley - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about hanging valley
		Minor (tributary) valley that joins a larger glacial trough at a higher level than the trough floor.
		During glaciation the ice in the smaller valley was unable to erode as deeply as the ice in the trough, and so the valley was left perched high on the side of the trough when the ice retreated.
		A river or stream flowing along the hanging valley often forms a waterfall as it enters the trough.

	Glacial Erosion: Hanging Valley
		Hanging valleys are often associated with valley glaciers, joining the main valley along its sides.
		The floors of the tributary valleys are eroded and deepened at a slower rate than the floor of the main valley, so the difference between the depths of the two valleys steadily increases over time.
		The tributaries are left high above the main valley, hanging on the edges, their rivers and streams entering the main valley by either a series of small waterfalls or a single impressive fall.

		They are most commonly associated with glacial valleys when a tributary glacier flows into a glacier of larger volume.
		Since the surfaces of the glaciers were originally at the same elevation, the shallower valley appears to be ‘hanging’ above the main valley.

		These ridges extend across the valley that the glacier filled and may be curved slightly down-valley.

	TAY photos: backcountry skiing Kachess Ridge, Washington
		Associated trip report: Although I usually go up into Silver Creek valley to ski in the spring, when the trail which climbs up to the hanging valley is mostly bare, I thought that there might be enough snow now to ski all the way.
		When I reached the lip of the hanging valley (~3600') and the start of the nice old-growth forest, the trees were suddenly holding lots of snow in their branches, and the quality of the snow became better - more powdery, though dense and still crusted in places from tree-drip.
		The ski back to the lip of the hanging valley was fast, and the waxless skis allowed me to climb the little rises along the way but get long glides as well.

		There are very few turns to be had on the way out before the lip of the hanging valley, and in the one section steep enough (just leaving the meadows), the snow was not good for turns.
		With the good track we had set up the valley, though, the cruising was very enjoyable, and our speed could be controlled by just stepping out of the tracks, thus avoiding turns, when necessary.
		The ski down from the lip of the hanging valley was one of the best ever, as far as snow quality (though this isn't saying much!).

	More About Hickory Nut Falls at Chimney Rock Park
		Hickory Nut Falls is a perfect example of what geologists call a "hanging valley": a tributary valley that drops off abruptly into its main valley.
		Even today the valleys are cut down at different rates, so Hickory Nut Falls may become higher in centuries to come, as the large valley erodes more quickly.
		In cracks next to the waterfall and even in some places in the falling water, several plants have found a wet home—Lady rue, a dainty white-flowering plant, and Deerhair bulrush, a grass-like plant.

	Silicon Valley Real Estate Blog, Bay Area: 1SiliconValley.com by Steve Leung
		Campbell is a hidden gem of Silicon Valley real estate — a place with an undeservedly brusque reputation, relatively inexpensive homes, a strong town center at the Pruneyard, and an improving historic downtown area.
		For all the number-crunching, research, and analysis I do to ensure my clients are making good financial and investment decisions, the one thing I never lose sight of for them is the emotions they'll go through during the process of buying and selling their home, and how they'll feel when they're living there.
		The challenge with Sunnyvale is that it doesn't have the hipness factor of Mountain View or the education credentials of Cupertino (even though their school districts overlap in many places).
