Mount Carillon
Mountain summit on the crest of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in California
Mount Carillon is a 13,559-foot-elevation (4,133-meter) mountain summit located on the crest of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in California.[2] It is situated on the common border of Tulare County with Inyo County, as well as the shared boundary of Sequoia National Park and John Muir Wilderness. It is set above the south shore of Tulainyo Lake, 12.5 miles (20.1 km) west of the community of Lone Pine, 1.25 miles (2.01 km) northeast of Mount Whitney, and 0.7 miles (1.1 km) east-northeast of Mount Russell, the nearest higher neighbor. Topographic relief is significant as it rises approximately 5,180 feet (1,580 meters) above Whitney Portal in approximately two miles. Carillon has subpeaks, unofficially called "The Cleaver" (13,383 ft (4,079 m), 0.4 mile to the northeast, and "Impala" (12,073+ ft/3,680+ m), on the southeast ridge.[1]
