Description 

Another high and wild peak east of the Sierra crest, with expansive views of the rest of the southern part of the range.

Getting There 

Another wonderful Sierra hike.

From Road's End at Cedar Grove hike up Bubbs Creek, past Charlotte Creek, and a looong way to Junction Meadow, turn south, cross the creek (scariest part of the whole trip} and follow the trail, with amazing views of Mount Bago to the north, to East Lake which makes a very scenic camp spot for the East Ridge and North Face routes - 18 miles.

Go here for entry permits.
