Mt. Williamson.... is the second highest peak in
California at 14,375' but is a much harder climb than the nearby higher Mt
Whitney. It is a long hike in on a trail that takes you up to a saddle
only to lose a considerable amount of elevation before climbing up to
Shepherds Pass at around 12,000'. You lose again climbing down into
Williamson bowl before finally going for the summit. Access is also
limited to certain times of the year because it is in the California
Bighorn Sheep Zoological Area. For various reasons it took me four
attempts to summit Williamson. |
