Round Top is a 10,381-foot (3,164 m) mountain located on the Sierra crest in Alpine County, California, United States.

Approximately 3,000 feet (910 m) is exposed by the northern wall of Summit City canyon, which forms the south face of the mountain.

Eventually, over a geologic time scale, these other strata wore away, revealing the erosion-resistant remnants which make up the mountain that remains today.

[7] A specimen of the Lake Tahoe lupine (Lupinus meionanthus) has been identified at the summit of Round Top.

[8] In 1872, prospectors began exploring the Summit City Creek canyon immediately south of Round Top, ultimately filing more than 30 mining claims in the area.
