Crown Point
Description
WikipediaCrown Point is a mountain with a summit elevation of 11,346 feet (3,458 m) located in the Sierra Nevada mountain range, in Mono County of northern California, United States. The summit is set in the Hoover Wilderness on land managed by Humboldt–Toiyabe National Forest, whereas the lower southwest slope is set within Yosemite National Park and Tuolumne County. The peak is situated approximately five miles southwest of Twin Lakes, one mile southeast of Peeler Lake, three miles southeast of Kettle Peak, and 4.3 miles (6.9 km) west-northwest of Matterhorn Peak. Topographic relief is significant as the northeast aspect rises over 2,100 feet (640 meters) above the Robinson Lakes in one mile. The first ascent of the summit was made in 1905 by George R. Davis, Albert Hale Sylvester, and Pearson Chapman, all with the United States Geological Survey.
