Corral Ridge

Corral Ridge or Corral Hollow Hill, a minor summit in the Sierra Nevada, is the highest point in Calaveras County.[1] It stands nearly 4,000 feet (1,200 m) above the North Fork of the Mokelumne River. Located near the Alpine county line, it is east of the Salt Springs Reservoir and west of the town of Bear Valley.[2] Due to its high elevation much of the precipitation that the summit receives is in the form of snow.[3]
