About Castle Peak

Castle Peak is a mountain in California's Sierra Nevada near I-80, Donner Pass, and the Nevada border. It is in the Tahoe National Forest not far off the Pacific Crest Trail, and adjacent to Castle Pass. It was originally named Mount Stanford, after Leland Stanford, by the Whitney Survey of 1860–1874. The peak takes its name from its conical shape.
