Raymond Peak was named in 1865 for the mineral examiner Rossiter W. Raymond. It's peak elevation is 10,023 ft above sea level, with rocky volcanic composition and surrounded by lower, rolling, pine covered mountains. The Pacific Crest Trail passes to the east and north of the peak and is probably still covered in 3 feet of hard packed snow as of late. Getting the chance to paint in these mountains is just another reason why the Sierra's are such a wonderful mountain range to explore.
