Surprisingly, Donner Peak is not the highest peak in the area, it's just a little knob across this short saddle about 200 yards to the east. It offers about the same view of Donner Lake and Castle Peak as from here, albeit through a cool split rock. One can continue along the PCT which becomes more or less level with the contours from this saddle, or continue to climb to Mt Judah summit.
