Hill features

Mount Lyell is the highest peak in Yosemite National Park. Located near the southeast boundary, it is a very popular destination despite its long distance (13.5 miles) from the nearest trailhead. It is easily recognizable from the summit of most peaks in Yosemite, thanks to the prominent Lyell Glacier on its northern flank, the largest in the park.
