The Middle Fork San Joaquin River Bridge was severely damaged during the record-breaking winter of 2022-2023 and has been rendered irreparable and impassable. DO NOT use the broken bridge as it is extremely dangerous. If your itinerary requires the use of this bridge, it is advised that you plan another trip this summer. PCT and JMT Class of 2023: please see the detour information provided by the PCTA. It is unknown when the bridge will be replaced. Please see Inyo National Forest's Alerts and Notices page for up-to-date information.

Mount Ritter
Peak
37.68938, -119.19903
Mount Ritter is the highest summit in the Ritter Range, and potentially the most distinguished peak in the High Sierra. Composed of notably dark rock, it commands attention with its towering stature and solitary presence. Positioned centrally within the Ritter Range, it shares the landscape with neighboring Banner Peak and the Minarets. The distinct silhouette formed by the Ritter-Banner duo is easily discernible from elevated vantage points stretching far to the north and south within the Sierra Nevada.
