About Clipper Mountains
The Clipper Mountains are a rugged and remote mountain range located in the eastern part of California. The range is characterized by steep, jagged peaks and deep, glacially carved valleys. The terrain is mostly granite, with patches of snow and ice persisting well into the summer months. The Clipper Mountains are part of the larger Sierra Nevada range, but they are less well-known and less heavily trafficked than some of the more popular areas to the west.
