Laurel Mountain is a peak in Mono County, California. It lies in the Sherwin Range of the Sierra Nevada and is in the Inyo National Forest and the John Muir Wilderness. It reaches a height of 11818feet[1] and is largely composed of metamorphic rock caused by contact with an intruding pluton in the late Cretaceous.[4]
