Lamarck Col is a hard hike in California's John Muir Wilderness, within the White Mountain Ranger District of Inyo National Forest. The trail is an out-and-back that climbs from about 10,900 feet to about 12,750 feet, with a total elevation gain of 1,941 feet over a distance of about 5.6 miles. The Forest Service manages the land, and the route is natural-surface and not accessible. The trail is open year-round, and the climb is steep enough to make it a serious outing. Bikes are not allowed. Lamarck Lakes sits just 0.2 miles away, and Grass Lake Outlet is about 1.2 miles off. North Lake Campground and Sabrina Campground are both within about 2 miles, so the area offers several places to camp.
