Glass Mountain is an easy dayhike, perfect for conditioning on
the way to somewhere else. The trailhead (waypoint GLASTH) is a
surprisingly nice place with tall trees and picnic/outhouse
facilities but no water. The peak's register is on the high point
(waypoint GLASHP), not the named summit (waypoint GLASSM).
The GPS waypoints
file contains two routes which converge at the Sawmill Canyon turnoff from Hwy 120 (waypoint SAW120):
- GPS Route 'FROM BISHOP' follows Hwy 6 north from Hwy 395.
Starting in Bishop (waypoints BISHOP and 395006, with a jog over to
Laws (waypoint LAW006), stay on Hwy 6 north to Benton (waypoint BENTON).
The Benton Range (waypoint BENRAN) is a nice place to watch a sunset!
- GPS Route 'FROM LEE VINING' follows Hwy 120 east from Hwy 395.
Starting in Lee Vining (waypoint LEEVIN), take Hwy 395 south 5 miles
to the junction where Hwy 120 goes eastward from Hwy 395 (waypoint 395120)
then go east but NOT AS FAR AS BENTON.
Overall map: (see detailed topo map below)
Everyone can drive to the trailhead on a good dirt road (from waypoint SAW120 to GLASTH):
