On this subject...I see varying elevations for Trail Crest, 13,777ft from past notes and articles or 13,600ft from the sign. Which one is correct? Or are these measured at different spots along that ridge above the chute or switchbacks and both correct just measured from different spots?
This could be. I would imagine that the elevation of Trail Crest is the actual elevation at the notch itself (ie the entrance into Sequoia NP). The trail is, of course, somewhat higher at the top of the switchbacks. But I’m not sure whether it is 177ft higher when it starts to descend to Trail Crest.
