About Ritter Range
The Ritter Range is a small, rugged mountain range located in the Eastern Sierra Nevada mountains of California. It is characterized by steep, glaciated peaks and alpine lakes. The range lies entirely within the Ansel Adams Wilderness, a designated wilderness area managed by the U.S. Forest Service. The terrain is rocky and challenging, with dramatic granite cliffs and cirques carved by ancient glaciers. The highest peaks offer panoramic views stretching across the Sierra Nevada crest.
