Reynolds Peak is a 9,690-foot-elevation (2,954 meter) mountain summit located in Alpine County, California, United States.
Topographic relief is modest as the east aspect rises 1,100 feet (340 meters) above Raymond Meadows in one-half mile.
The Pacific Crest Trail traverses the eastern base of the mountain, providing an approach option from Ebbetts Pass.
[11] 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 (orographic lift), causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall onto the range.
