Description
Pacifico Mountain is located approximately 10 miles south-southwest of Littlerock, California.
The Pacific Crest Trail traverses the mountain and is the primary hiking route to the summit.[1][3] The hike to the summit involves a strenuous 11.9 mile route with an elevation gain of 2,490 ft (759 m).[3] A longer alternate hiking route is via Three Points on Angeles Crest Highway to the southeast. [4]
There is a campground on Pacifico Mountain which can be accessed by vehicle on Forest Service Road 3N17.[5] The road to the campground closes for the season when the first winter storm is projected. [5]
Pacifico Mountain is located on the USGS 7.5 minute quadrangle map entitled “Pacifico Mountain.”[2]
The peak was added to the Peak List of the Hundred Peaks Section of the Sierra Club in 1946.[6]
