Mount Randy Morgenson is a 13,927-foot-elevation (4,245-meter) mountain summit located along the crest of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in Tulare County, California. It is situated in Sequoia National Park, one mile north-northwest of Mount Whitney, 0.85 mile east of Mount Hale, and one-half mile west of Mount Russell, the nearest higher neighbor. The John Muir Trail traverses to the south of the mountain, providing an approach option. Mt. Morgenson ranks as the 20th-highest summit in California.[2] Topographic relief is significant as the northwest aspect rises 2,200 feet (670 meters) above Wales Lake in less than one mile.
