Mount Hopkins

Mount Hopkins is a Sierra Nevada peak in California’s John Muir Wilderness, just north of Kings Canyon National Park and one of four mountains around Pioneer Basin. It stands near Mount Crocker, Mount Huntington, and Mount Stanford. The mountain was named for Mark Hopkins, one of the builders of the Central Pacific Railroad. It lies in an alpine climate zone shaped by Pacific weather systems that rise over the Sierra Nevada and commonly drop their moisture as rain or snow across the range.
