The story
Mount Reinstein is a 12,586-foot-elevation (3,836-meter) mountain summit located west of the crest of the Sierra Nevada mountain range, in Fresno County, California, United States. This peak is situated on the common boundary shared by Kings Canyon National Park with John Muir Wilderness, and it is the highest point on LeConte Divide. Reinstein ranks as the 260th-highest summit in California. It is set 2.7 miles (4.3 km) west of Scylla and 2.0 miles (3.2 km) southwest of Mount Goddard. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises nearly 1,600 feet (490 meters) above Martha Lake in less than one mile. An ascent of the peak is non-technical, and inclusion on the Sierra Peaks Section peakbagging list generates climbing interest in this remote peak.
