Description
WikipediaFinger Peaks is a granitic mountain summit with an elevation of 11,498 feet (3,505 m) located in the Sierra Nevada mountain range, in northern California, United States. The three peaks are situated in Yosemite National Park and Tuolumne County. The landform is set immediately west of Burro Pass, 1.5 mile south of Eocene Peak, and 1.4 mile southwest of Matterhorn Peak. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 1,700 feet (520 meters) above Piute Creek in one-half mile. The first ascent of the summit was made July 19, 1931, by Jules Eichorn, Glen Dawson, and Walter Brem. This landform's toponym has been in publications since at least 1925, and was officially adopted by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names in 1932.
