The Ansel Adams was renamed in 1984 to honor the pioneering landscape photographer and is known for spectacular alpine scenery. Elevations range from 7,000 to 14,000 feet. The central area has many lakes. This rugged area includes the high country east of the Sierra Crest. Both the Pacific Crest and John Muir Trails cross this area.
