9:35 PM LOCAL TIMEMount Langley rises to about 14,042 feet on the Sierra Crest between Mount Whitney and Trail Pass, making it one of the higher and less trafficked USFS-fabled peaks. The standard approach begins from trailheads near Wandrader Lake or Dog Lake, combining high-elevation trail walking with cross-country travel. Expect glacier-crossings, loose rock, and variable snowpack, depending on the season. The summit provides panoramic views of the Eastern Sierra, including sights of Mount Whitney, Trail Pass, and ranges to the north and south. Due to its remote location and less-maintained route, climbers should be prepared for long approaches, route-finding skills, and changing weather; it's suited to experienced high-elevation hikers and scrambleers seeking solitude.
