Mount Price, Mountain summit in Desolation Wilderness, California, US
Mount Price rises to an elevation of 3042 meters within the Crystal Range of Sierra Nevada, featuring steep granite slopes and exposed rock formations.
The mountain became part of the protected Desolation Wilderness area in 1969, preserving its natural state for future generations to experience.
Local Native American tribes considered the peaks of the Crystal Range, including Mount Price, as significant markers for seasonal navigation and hunting practices.
Climbers access the summit through a class 2 scramble route, requiring basic mountaineering skills and appropriate equipment for high-altitude conditions.
The mountain's position between Pyramid Peak and Mount Agassiz creates a natural corridor for migrating birds during spring and fall seasons.
