From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

James Sather Hutchinson (1867-1959) was a lawyer in San Francisco, California, United States. He was most noted for being an explorer of the Sierra Nevada, attaining the first ascent of several peaks, including Mount Sill, North Palisade, and Mount Humphreys. He accompanied Joseph N. LeConte on some of his exploration of the Sierra, including one notable trip in 1908 roughly along the route of the modern John Muir Trail.

Hutchinson was a charter member of the Sierra Club, and was active in the Club throughout his life, including being a director from 1903 through 1908.
