The Citadel (Sierra Nevada)
The Citadel is an mountain summit located in the Sierra Nevada mountain range, in Fresno County of central California, United States. It is situated in northern Kings Canyon National Park, west-southwest of the community of Big Pine, and south of Langille Peak. Topographic relief is significant as it rises above Le Conte Canyon in approximately one mile. The long approach to this remote peak is made via the John Muir Trail. The Northeast Arête, also known as ''Edge of Time Arête'', is considered one of the classic climbing routes in the Sierra Nevada.

Precipitation runoff from this mountain drains in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
