About Mineral Range

The Mineral Range is a remote and rugged mountain range located in the eastern Sierra Nevada mountains of California. Spanning an area of over 300 square miles, the range is characterized by steep, jagged peaks, deep valleys, and vast expanses of alpine meadows and lakes. The terrain is predominantly granite, carved by glaciers and weathered by the harsh, high-altitude climate. The range is home to several notable peaks, including Mount Morgan (12,985 ft) and Sawmill Peak (12,343 ft), offering challenging climbs and stunning vistas for experienced mountaineers.
