Minarets, Mountain peaks in Sierra Nevada, California.
The Minarets form a collection of seventeen granite peaks with jagged formations rising to 12,270 feet in the Ritter Range.
The California Geographical Survey named these peaks in 1868, recognizing their distinctive granite formations south of Mount Ritter.
The wilderness area containing the Minarets received a new designation in 1984 as Ansel Adams Wilderness, celebrating the renowned photographer.
Visitors can reach the Minarets through two trailheads connected to the Red's Meadow Shuttle System, starting from Agnew Meadows.
The Southeast Face Route of Clyde Minaret earned recognition in the publication Fifty Classic Climbs of North America.
