Eagle Peak

Eagle Peak is a granite summit in the Sierra Nevada standing at about 7400 feet elevation and part of the Three Brothers formation in Yosemite National Park. The massif features steep rock walls and offers both hiking trails and climbing opportunities suitable for various skill levels.

The name Eagle Peak comes from translating Sim-layshe, a Native American word used by people who inhabited the area long ago. The region was later developed by settlers including the Longmire family, who helped expand human activity in the area.

The peak forms part of the Three Brothers formation in Yosemite National Park, representing generations of mountaineering traditions and outdoor recreation practices.

Starting early helps you get good light and avoid crowds on the trails. Bring plenty of water, safety gear, and check current trail conditions before heading out since weather and snow can change quickly.

The granite formations offer a range of climbing routes from gentle beginner slopes to technically demanding passages through exposed rock. This diversity makes the peak interesting for climbers with varying levels of experience.
