Ragged Peak-10,866' (Tioga Pass)
(37.9329795, -119.3532133)
Description:
Hoffmann and I visited a peak about four miles north of camp, to
complete our bearing for this region. It is a naked granite ridge, about
10,500 feet high, and like all the rest commands a sublime view.1 We
found mosquitoes on the very summit, and on a table-land at about nine
thousand feet, in an open forest, they swarmed in myriads. On this table
we found a pretty lake, of very clear water, about a mile long—a most
picturesque sheet of water. These little lakes abound here in the higher
Sierra. From Up
and Down California by William Brewer, Book 4 Chapter4
From GNIS: In Yosemite National Park, bound on the west and north by Conness Creek, on the east by Young Lakes, and on the south by the Dingley Creek.
