Mount Brewer

Mount Brewer is a mountain peak in the Sierra Nevada standing at 13,576 feet (4,137 meters) and composed of granite cliffs and alpine lakes. The summit rises above a landscape of steep terrain and rock formations shaped by ancient glaciers.

The first recorded ascent took place in 1864 as part of a geological survey of California. This early expedition helped establish knowledge of the High Sierra's geography and features.

The mountain forms part of the Sierra Peaks Section Peaks List, representing an important destination for mountaineers exploring California's highest elevations.

The climb starts from the Roads End Trailhead in Kings Canyon National Park and requires good fitness and mountaineering experience. The best season is late summer through early fall, when snow has melted and the terrain remains passable.

The peak offers sweeping views of the Great Western Divide and neighboring summits on clear days. From this vantage point, visitors can grasp the expanse of the alpine landscape and see how this area connects to the broader Sierra chain.
