The story
Schroeder Mountain is a mountain in the California's Sierra Nevada, on the Tahoe National Forest. It is located 0.8 miles (1 km) east of California State Route 49 in Sierra County. Its elevation is 6,942 feet (2,116 m). It is 2.5 miles (4.0 km) west-northwest of Yuba Pass, 1.5 miles (2.4 km) southwest of Beartrap Meadow; approx. 30 miles (48 km) northeast of Downieville. Clark Station Summer Home Tract is at the base of the mountain. It is also known by some local cabin owners as Fuzz Top due to the "fuzzy" way the vegetation appears from far away. This name has been in use since at least the 1960s. It is a very steep and difficult climb to the top without a trail. Despite this, many cabin owners have been to Fuzz Top's summit numerous times.
