Nice spot for a wedding

Hasn't voted

I was married on this peak (6161 ft) November 29th, 1987. We had 40 friends come up with us. It was an exceptional day--Mt. Whitney was visible over Mill Creek Summit, and 180 degrees south, waves could be seen breaking on Huntington Beach.

My son's namesake

I moved away from Southern California 5 years ago. My wife agreed that we could give our son (born last year) the middle name Gabriel after this peak and range. So while she was pregnant with him I had the opportunity to fly down and bag the peak in his honor. I can't wait to take him hiking up here.

Next time I lead a group up there I'll relate your story. Of course, you don't have to wait until he can hike to take him to the peak-just strap him to your back!
