Mount Le Conte (California)
Mount Le Conte (or LeConte) is a mountain located in the Sierra Nevada of California. The boundary between Inyo and Tulare counties runs along the crest of the Sierra, across Mount Le Conte. The mountain was named in 1895 for Joseph LeConte (1823–1901), the first professor of geology and natural history at the University of California.
