About Clark Range
The Clark Range is a rugged and remote mountain range located in the central Sierra Nevada of California. Stretching for approximately 25 miles, the range is characterized by its steep, glaciated peaks and deep, U-shaped valleys. The terrain is predominantly granite, with numerous lakes, meadows, and alpine environments. Elevations range from around 7,000 feet in the valleys to over 13,500 feet at the range's highest point, Mount Lyell. The Clark Range lies entirely within the boundaries of Yosemite National Park, providing a wilderness experience within one of California's most iconic natural areas.
