Sirretta Peak

Sirretta Peak along with Rockhouse Peak, Uncle Tower & Lamont Peak

Backpacking and peakbagging in the Southern Sierra Domeland Wilderness. Day hiked Sirretta, then backpacked to Manter Meadow - 2nd day up Rockhouse and Uncle Tower. Packed out day 3 and day hiked Lamont on our way home.  Sirretta Peak is most commonly hiked from the trail that also bears its name. The trail starts out as Cannell Meadow Trail (33E32). In 0.5 of a mile the trail branches right and turns into Sirretta trail heading North towards Sirretta Pass. As you near the top of the pass you should leave the trail near waypoint 11S 0380227E 3976516N and turn sharply up hill to the West. Proceed on a bearing of 257° TN making your way up the slope through the Manzanita and rocks. Once you reach the ridge you will see the summit block and it should only be a short scramble to the top. Once at the top you will be rewarded with views of Big Meadow and the Domeland Wilderness.
