Mount Morrison

Mount Morrison

Mount Morrison is a very majestic part of the scenery at Convict Lake in the Eastern Sierras of California. The oldest rocks in the mountain range can be found there.

The mountain gets its name from a famous old west shootout that happened at Convict Creek. To summarize, some outlaws broke out of prison in Carson City, Nevada and headed to this area to hide in the canyon. A posse was formed to capture them headed by Robert Morrison with their Paiute indian guide “Mono” Jim. Both were killed in the violent gun battle that ensued. Mono Jim Mountain can be seen in the foreground.
