About this map

Yosemite National Park and the Sierra National Forest converge in this high-altitude landscape where the Merced Wild and Scenic River begins its descent. The terrain is defined by dramatic peaks like Sing Peak and Gale Peak, connected by an intricate network of historical paths including the California Riding and Hiking Trl and Fernandez Pass Trl.

Glacial features are prominent throughout, from the Moraine Meadows to a series of alpine water bodies such as the Hoover Lakes, Chain Lakes, and the isolated Chiquito Lake. This 2021 survey documents the high Sierra backcountry near the Buena Vista Crest, highlighting the traditional routes over Chiquito Pass and Fernandez Pass that have long served as vital crossings through this section of the Sierra Nevada.
