The San Joaquin River Trail starts at the base of Pincushion Mountain right at the shoreline of Millerton Lake which was created by damming up the river. The trail leads to the summit of the 1,580 feet high Pincushion Mountain with stunning views over the lake and nearby hills and ends within the San Joaquin River Gorge Special Recreation Management Area further north.

China Peak, also known as Sierra Summit, is a popular ski area in Central California near Fresno. It has been serving skiers since 1958 and is named after the beautiful Chinese Peak mountain. During the summer, you can visit the China Peak Bike Park, which has a vast array of mountain bike trails, from easy to pro, and is open from July 1 to September 17. The China Peak Adventure Center offers trail maps, and you can even rent full-suspension Santa Cruz bikes equipped with full-face helmets.

There are stretches of granite near Mono Hot Springs that are much lighter and brighter in color than the surrounding mountains. Thus, the area was given the nickname "The Range of Light"

Lamarck Col! Lamarck Col can be ascended from the east by traversing the glacier beneath, or from the west via a cross country scramble through Darwin Canyon. Please ensure that you carry proper snow gear (crampons/ice axe) if you plan on traveling over this pass! Safety first! Mount Lamarck was officially named in 1911 after French naturalist Jean-Baptist Lamarck, who was an early proponent of biological evolution. The peak sits at 4,090m, and is one of eight peaks forming the Evolution Crest of the Sierra Nevada. The first six peaks were named in 1895 after Darwin and prominent supporters of his theory of evolution. In 1911, two more peaks were added to the group: Lamarck and Mendel. A small glacier is sustained under the northern cliffs of the cirque, and precipitation on the west side of the mountain drains into Evolution Creek- a tributary of the San Joaquin River.

Kearsarge Pass is the most popular location to get off the Pacific Crest Trail to get supplies in the nearby town of Lonepine or Bishop. You have to hike down several thousand feet to get to Onion Valley and try to get a ride down to the desert floor. In 2023, the road up to Onion Valley might still be closed due to the record snow year.

You have to conquer this pass if you want your resupply in the city. But don't worry, it's less strenuous the second time! :D

The high valley above tree line below Mather pass was formed by glaciers, leaving some of the typical depressions, once filled by ice, that are now a string of lakes. Often the stream connecting them can flow invisibly under the loose layer of rocks and scree.

Mather Pass is one of the most treacherous passes along the PCT. In early summer, the switchbacks are likely to be buried under snow. The climb is steep, so get over the pass when the snow is still frozen and use (at least) microspikes. If the snow is too slushy, you might have to scramble along a rock field.
