George R. Stewart Peak

About

George R. Stewart Peak is a summit in the Truckee Ranger District of Tahoe National Forest in California, about 3.2 miles from the town of Soda Springs. Summer and early fall are the most comfortable time to go. A nearby weather station that sits well below the summit records typical July highs around 82°F with lows near 44°F, and conditions up on the peak run cooler than those averages. The summit sits beside two climbing spots, Grouse Slabs Bouldering and East Face, each about 0.1 mile away. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail #2000 and the Donner Summit Lakes Trail both pass within about 0.6 mile, and Milton Reservoir lies roughly 1.6 miles off.
