Herlihy Peak (original) (raw)

Herlihy Peak is an 11,758-foot-elevation (3,584 meter) mountain summit located in the Sierra Nevada mountain range in Mono County of northern California, United States. It is situated approximately four miles south of the community of Mammoth Lakes, in the John Muir Wilderness, on land managed by Inyo National Forest. Herlihy Peak is positioned midway between landmarks Crystal Crag and Bloody Mountain. Topographic relief is significant as the east aspect rises 2,060 feet (628 meters) above Valentine Lake in approximately one mile, and the west aspect rises 1,844 feet (562 meters) above Skelton Lake in 0.8 mile. Precipitation runoff from the peak drains to Mammoth Creek.
