Description
WikipediaBlacktop Peak is a 12,724-foot-elevation (3,878-meter) mountain summit located along the crest of the Sierra Nevada mountain range, in Mono County of northern California, United States. It is situated in the Ansel Adams Wilderness, on land managed by Inyo National Forest. The summit lies one-half mile outside of Yosemite National Park's eastern boundary, and some of the lower western slope lies within the park. Blacktop Peak ranks as the 228th-highest summit in the state of California. Blacktop Peak was likely named from its appearance. This geographical feature's name was officially adopted in 1932 by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names.
