This may impact access; seek alternate routes if possible. Forest Service officials have provided a list and a map outlining these closures, which are projected to last until 8/2/2023.

Banner Peak

Peak

12,863 ft

37.6966, -119.19514

Being the second highest summit in the Ritter Range, some refer to the peak as one of the most graphic in the whole Sierra. It is most picturesque if viewed from the northeast as if it floats on the calm waters of Thousand Island Lake. The peak's easiest 2-class ascent may be done from the saddle of the Ritter-Banner on the southwest slope.
