Camp at Sunrise High Sierra Camp, Yosemite National Park, California
The Sunrise High Sierra Camp was the last of the Yosemite camps to be established. It was founded on July 15, 1961, when Mary Curry Tresidder of the Yosemite Park and Curry Company opened the camp on a shelf above Long Meadow, at an elevation of 9,400 feet (2,900 m).
This final link made it possible for hikers to take a six-day wilderness loop trip around the Cathedral Range from the Tuolumne River to the Merced River and back again, without carrying a heavy backpack, since nightly accommodations and meals were available at six points along the way. Clouds Rest, one of John Muir's favorite peaks, is located 7.0 miles (11.3 km) north.
The Merced Lake High Sierra Camp is located a hiking distance of 10.0 miles (16.1 km) southeast, and the May Lake High Sierra Camp is located a hiking distance of 8.3 miles (13.4 km) northwest.
