Description
WikipediaStanton Peak is a granitic mountain with a summit elevation of 11,695 feet (3,565 m) located in the Sierra Nevada mountain range, in Tuolumne County of northern California, United States. The remote summit is set within Yosemite National Park, and is situated 0.63 mile southwest of line parent Virginia Peak, 1.6 mile southeast of Whorl Mountain, and 2.6 miles south-southeast of Matterhorn Peak. Stanton Peak is bound on the west by Spiller Creek and on the east by Return Creek, so precipitation runoff from this mountain drains into these two tributaries of the Tuolumne River. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises over 2,100 feet (640 meters) above Spiller Creek in one mile.
