Picture Puzzle

Picture Puzzle, also known as Picture Puzzle Peak, is a 13,297-foot-elevation (4,053 meter) mountain summit located one mile east of the crest of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in Inyo County of northern California, United States.

[3][6] It is situated in the Palisades area of the John Muir Wilderness, on land managed by Inyo National Forest.

Picture Puzzle ranks as the 90th-highest summit in California,[2] and the third-highest peak of the Inconsolable Range.

[8] Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel east toward the Sierra Nevada mountains.

As fronts approach, they are forced upward by the peaks, causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall onto the range (orographic lift).
