About

Mount Carillon is a summit of about 13,551 feet in Inyo County, California, inside Sequoia National Park and the John Muir Wilderness. The land is managed by the National Park Service, and the nearest town is Lone Pine, about 11 miles away. The peak also falls within the Sequoia-Kings Canyon Wilderness and the Mt. Whitney Ranger District of Inyo National Forest, so it sits at the intersection of several protected areas. A summit route leads to the top. The Mt Carillon climbing area is just 0.1 mile away, and Mt. Russell and Mt. Whitney are both within about a mile and a half. For an overnight base, Whitney Trailhead Walk In Campground is about 2.2 miles off.
