Trojan Peak

Trojan Peak is a mountain summit in the Sierra Nevada range of California, reaching an elevation of 4,251 meters above sea level. The peak stands near Lake Helen of Troy and can be accessed through several hiking routes in the area.

The peak was named by Chester Versteeg and Ralph Chase after their university, following rejection of their initial suggestion for an alternative name. The naming took place in the early 20th century during the surveying and mapping of this mountain region.

The summit forms part of both the Sierra Peaks Section challenge and the Vagmarken Club Sierra Crest List, drawing mountaineers to test their skills.

The summit can be accessed via George Creek before May 15 or through Shepherd Pass Trail routes. Wright Lakes provides suitable camping locations for visitors who want to spend the night in the area.

The peak is associated with different mountaineering groups and climbing lists that challenge visitors to test their skills through various objectives. Its proximity to Lake Helen of Troy with a steep elevation gain over a short distance makes this location attractive to experienced climbers.
