Mitchell Peak

Hiked to Mitchell Peak in Sequoia National Forest, the Giant Sequoia National Monument and the Jennie Lakes Wilderness. A 6.6 mile round trip hike with 2,100 ft elevation gain.

The trailhead is reached after a long drive on some rough forest service roads

There were some snow dusting on the trees

Marvin Pass is about 1 mile from the trailhead.
There was a notice at the trailhead stating that the trail signs were stolen so frequently, they were unable to replace them.
Fortunately some one has written the names of the trails on the post which used to hold the trail signs.

nice granite boulders along the trail

Another 3/4 of a mile leads to the next trail junction

Found some snow on the trail as we gained elevation

Some easy scrambling up to the summit of Mitchell Peak
