Vogelsang High Sierra Camp

"The Vogelsang High Sierra Camp is the highest elevation camp, located at 10,300 feet (3,100 m). It was first established in 1924 at a site on Booth Lake 300 feet lower, was moved in the early 1930s, and then again in 1940 to its "glorious perch" on Fletcher Creek. It is named after Charles A. Vogelsang, president of the California State Board of Fish and Game for 12 years, as are nearby Vogelsang Peak at 11,516 feet (3,510 m), and Vogelsang Lake." - Wikipedia

Fletcher Peak

"Fletcher Peak is the prominent, hulky, flat-topped peak located immediately behind the Vogelsang High Sierra Camp in Yosemite NP. As such, it affords good views towards its higher neighbour across Vogelsang Lake, Vogelsang Peak, over the surrounding Tuolumne Pass and Evelyn Lake area, as well as to Parsons, Simmons, and Amelia Earhart Peaks." - SummitPost
