 At 9983 feet, Pyramid Peak is the high point of the Desolation Wilderness. It can be reached via several different approaches. Among them, Lyons Creek Trail to Lake Sylvia, Rocky Canyon, and Horsetail Falls. Rocky Canyon is the shortest and most popular route, gaining the summit in just over 4,000 feet. There are no official trails to the peak, but it gets plenty of visitation and cairned use trails exist where lack of talus allows. The most ambitious hikers link the neighboring Mt. Agassiz and Mt. Price with their Pyramid ascent. One-Way NoticeThis hike is listed as One-Way. When hiking several trails on a single "hike", log it with a generic name that describes the hike. Then link the trails traveled, check out the example. |
