Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion Skeleton discovered in Williamson bowl

I was an active Sierra hiker in the 1970's and 1980's and climbed Mt. Williamson three times during that period.

A Sierra Club trip leader told me in the 1980's that during World War II Japanese inmates of the Manzanar Internment Camp would sometimes take deceased inmates and bury them in the Mt. Williamson area which was behind the camp.
