Description
This mountain has an elevation of 14,440 feet and rears its snowy head day after day and month after month in the cloudless azure. Late in the summer however, it loses some of its grandeur through the melting of some of its snow and internal volcanic heat which has not yet subsided. It has some big craters and a score of smaller ones. John Muir and Jerome Fay, being caught in a snowstorm on this mountain in 1875, owed the preservation of their lives to a hot sulphur spring a few hundred feet below the summit.
