Peak 10857' is the turning point of the ridgeline the connects Lonesome Lake Peak and Patterson Peak. The peak is surrounded by beautiful alpine lakes including Born Lakes, Four Lakes Basin, and Quiet Lake.

This is the view of Peak 10857' as seen from the base of Blackman Peak to the west, with long evening shadows being cast across Ants Basin. Lonesome Lake Peak is just outside of the photo to left, with the north face of Patterson Peak on the far right side of the photo. The saddle to the right of the peak leads to Four Lakes Basin, and the low point on the ridge to the left is known as Devil's Staircase. A cool looking pinnacle is just to the left of the staircase. The Born Lakes are located at the base of the mountain amidst the trees.
