Places: CA-Ragged Peak (Yosemite)


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.
