Dragon Peak is an Eastern Sierra hiking classic! Just outside of Independence, CA, the hike climbs up almost 4,000FT past gorgeous Sierra lakes and meadows, through challenging boulder fields, and finally along a spicy ridgeline where hikers meet the infamous Dragon Peak Traverse. While we definitely do not recommend this hike for anyone without significant class 3 and 4 climbing experience, it was definitely one of our favorite Eastern Sierra hikes we have done in a long time!
