Leavitt Peak, Mountain summit in Mono County, California

Leavitt Peak is a 3,528-metre summit on the Tuolumne County–Mono County line in the Sierra Nevada, a few kilometres south of Sonora Pass. The Pacific Crest Trail passes east of the summit at about 3,290 metres. Kennedy Lake lies to the south, fed by Kennedy Creek; the Emigrant Wilderness opens on the west flank and the Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center Bridgeport lies to the east.

Leavitt Peak is named for Hiram Leavitt, a New Hampshire native and early Mono County judge. In 1863 he built a hotel and home at the east foot of Sonora Pass and erected a stagecoach station, Leavitt Station, serving travelers and miners bound for Bodie. "Leavitt's" appears on Charles F. Hoffmann's 1873 map; "Levitt Peak" on the Mining Bureau map of 1891.

The peak carries the name of Hiram Leavitt, a New Hampshire-born Mono County judge who in 1863 built a hotel and stagecoach station at the east foot of Sonora Pass for miners travelling to Bodie. Leavitt Lake and Leavitt Meadow along the West Walker River also bear the family name. The name Leavitt's appears on Charles F. Hoffmann's 1873 map, and Levitt Peak on the Mining Bureau map of 1891.

Day hikes to the summit do not require permits, but overnight stays in the Emigrant Wilderness area need special authorization. The route is typically accessible between summer and autumn when snow has melted.

The summit sits along the Pacific Crest Trail and offers views spanning multiple watersheds. From this vantage point, you can see across both the San Joaquin River system and the Great Basin region.
