Brainerd Lake, Firebird Peak/ Peak 3862, John Muir Wilderness Inyo National Forest, Big Pine, California, USA.

Firebird Peak (aka "Peak 3862") rises above Brainerd Lake in John Muir Wilderness within Inyo National Forest, west of Big Pine, in California, USA. The Palisades group of peaks runs for 6 miles along the Sierra Crest, dividing the Central Valley watershed from the Owens Valley. From the day hikers parking lot, we walked 9.2 miles round trip with 2800 feet gain to Brainerd (or Brainard) Lake (which would be 1.5 miles further round trip from the overnight hikers lot).
