Fourth Hilton Lake

31 Jan 2012 2 3 262
John Muir Wilderness, Sierra Nevada, California. Again, nothing to do with Paris or Conrad--Richard Hilton was a rancher in the Owens Valley in the 1870s or so. The peak across the lake terminates a ridge coming northeasterly off Mt. Huntington (12,384 feet--3775 m). The lake level itself is at 10,383 ft. Map location, as usual, is approximate.
