San Gabriel Peak, Mountain summit in San Gabriel Mountains, California, United States.
San Gabriel Peak rises from the Transverse Ranges, offering clear views across both the Los Angeles Basin and the Mojave Desert edges.
The San Gabriel Mountains received national monument status in 2014 through President Barack Obama's declaration to preserve natural resources.
Native American tribes maintained deep connections with the San Gabriel Mountains, establishing seasonal settlements near water sources across the range.
The summit requires careful preparation, including checking weather conditions and bringing sufficient water supplies for the demanding mountain ascent.
Granitic and metasedimentary rocks form the peak's structure, created when oceanic plates subducted beneath North America during the Mesozoic period.
