Sherwin Summit

It is located south of Tom's Place and Crowley Lake in the eastern part of the Sierra Nevada range. South of the summit, the road starts on its long 2,000 foot (610 m) descent into the Convert|4000|ft|m|-2|abbr=on high Owens Valley.Google Earth elevation for GNIS coordinates.] The Owens River generally follows the road from this summit through the Owens Valley. [California State Map, 2007.] Motorists who come from the south usually cross this summit in order to go to the high-altitude towns like Mammoth Lakes to the northwest to escape the smothering summer heat in the deserts. The pass receives snowfall during the winter, although the region receives relatively little precipitation annually.
