2004 Map of Mount Hilgard

About this map

Mount Hilgard stands as a prominent centerpiece in this high-altitude section of the John Muir Wilderness, where the Sierra Nevada crest forms a jagged boundary between Fresno and Inyo counties. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of glacial basins and alpine lakes, many bearing ursine names such as Big Bear Lake, Little Bear Lake, and Teddy Bear Lake. This area serves as a critical junction for long-distance trekkers, as both the John Muir Trail and the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail traverse the western portion of the map, crossing through Rosemarie Meadow and over Selden Pass.
