Page Peaks


Page Peaks is a mountain summit located in the Sierra Nevada mountain range, in Mono County of northern California, United States. The mountain is set in the Hoover Wilderness on land managed by Humboldt–Toiyabe [National Forest]. The summit is situated one mile outside the boundary of Yosemite National Park, and less than one mile east of line parent Camiaca Peak. Topographic relief is significant as the east aspect rises above East Lake in one-quarter mile. This landform's toponym, which commemorates a miner and prospector named Page, has been officially adopted by the United [States Board on Geographic Names].

Climate

Page Peaks is located in an alpine climate zone. Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel east toward the Sierra Nevada mountains. As fronts approach, they are forced upward by the peaks , causing moisture in the form of rain or snowfall to drop onto the range. Precipitation runoff from this mountain drains into East Lake, thence West Fork Green Creek, which is a tributary of the Walker River.
