caption_attribution_description: Norman Clyde Peak's northeast face, seen from Big Pine Creek near Glacier Lodge, where Clyde worked as a caretaker for many years. The peak that bears his name also became home to his ashes... biggest gravestone ever! The autumn colors were in a full blaze this weekend.
context_page_description: Norman Clyde Peak, standing 13,861 feet tall, is in natural company among the high peaks of the Palisades region of the Sierra Nevada in California. It raises on the main ridge of the Palisades', between Middle Palisade and Palisade Crest. Norman Clyde Glacier on its north face, and Middle Palisade Glacier on its east both feed the headwaters of the South Fork of Big Pine Creek. It is named posthumously for mountaineer Norman Clyde, who first climbed it by way of the Norman Clyde Glacier in 1930.
