"The mountain was named in 1878 by the Wheeler Survey for one of its members, J. H. Morgan, of Alabama. (Gudde, Place Names, 211; SCB 4, no. 4, June 1903: 290; USGS Bulletin 310, 161.) The mountain and creek are named on the first Mt. Goddard 30' map, 1912. The other names first appear on the 15-minute quads."

The person who owns this page hasn't been on the site since 2015. I asked them if they are able to provide updates. If I don't hear from them by the end of March, I will take over the page. I have hiked this peak and should be able to flesh out the page more fully.

Untitled CommentAs far as I know you don't need a permit to dayhike the peak.
This is true of every Sierra peak except those accessed through the special Whitney Zone out of Whitney Portal.
