Vogelsang Peak, Mountain summit in Yosemite National Park, United States.
Vogelsang Peak stands at 11,498 feet in elevation within the Cathedral Range, featuring steep rock formations on its southeastern side and cirques on the northwestern face.
Colonel H.C. Benson named the peak in 1907, leading to discussions about whether it honored Charles or Alexander Vogelsang from the California Fish and Game Commission.
The German-origin name refers to a meadow where birds sing, reflecting the natural character of this section in Yosemite National Park.
Climbers access the summit through Tuolumne Meadows trailhead, following the John Muir Trail south before switching to Rafferty Creek Trail toward Vogelsang High Sierra Camp.
The peak offers views of the entire Cathedral Range, Merced drainage, Clark Range, Sawtooth Range, and Kuna Crest from its strategic position.
