2012 Map of Vogelsang Peak

About this map

Vogelsang High Sierra Camp and the high alpine basins of the Sierra Nevada define this 2012 survey. The landscape is dominated by glacial topography, featuring high-elevation water bodies such as Ireland Lake, Elizabeth Lake, and Vogelsang Lake. Major granite summits including Parsons Peak, Amelia Earhart Peak, and the namesake Vogelsang Peak ring the high passes. The Lyell Fork of the Tuolumne River winds through the expansive Lyell Canyon, a key drainage that shapes the northern reach of the map. This area serves as a significant junction for high-country travel, centered around the Tuolumne Meadows Campground and the network of trails crossing Tuolumne Pass and Vogelsang Pass. The mapping shows the intricate hydrography of the region, from the headwaters of Rafferty Cr to the high basins containing Bernice Lake and Gallison Lake.
