2021 Map of Kern Peak

About this map

Kern Peak towers over a complex landscape of the Sierra Nevada mountain range, anchoring the northern reaches of the Toowa Range. This high-altitude terrain is characterized by a unique series of alpine grasslands and volcanic features. The presence of Volcanic Cr, Volcano Meadow, and Red Hill indicates a geologically active past that has shaped the modern watershed. The area serves as a critical hydrologic hub, where Golden Trout Cr flows through the northern sector, passing the remarkable Natural Bridge.
