Identifying a mountain

[Hikin Mike]

I'm trying to ID this peak/mountain here:


It's along Tioga road, near the entrance gate. There's a small wooden sign, but I can't remember what it says. If you were to turn 90 degrees to the left of this picture, you can see Mount Gibbs here.

Mammoth Peak

I have a photo from Mammoth Peak but for some reason I thought my recent photo was past that. I even looked at my Topo and I thought, "Has to be Mammoth....but".

I guess my mind just isn't what it used to be!

Thanks!

It's Mammoth.

You can climb it as a pretty easy hike out of Lyell Canyon. And from the top you have a great view of TM.

And if you are young and foolish, you can see the Tioga Pass Road from the top, and you could figure that it would be pretty easy to just clamber down the north face to the road.

I'll just say that we made it. And I wouldn't try that one again.

Five years ago, I'd do it in a heart beat. Now both of my knees are now fixed (fused) straight, so no more mountain climbing for me!

I'm sorry to hear that. I love your website; it was one of the main things that convinced me to do a trip to Clouds Rest when I last visited Yosemite.

I've done some small hikes here in Yosemite and Kings Canyon, but I doubt I'll be backpacking any time soon. I could physically do it, it just takes too long to walk now.
