Mount Stakes, Mountain summit in Diablo Range, California, US.
Mount Stakes is a mountain summit in the Diablo Range between Santa Clara and Stanislaus counties in California. The peak stands at approximately 3,810 feet and offers views across the surrounding valleys and ridges.
The mountain has served as a geographic boundary between Santa Clara and Stanislaus counties since the 19th century. This location at a county line has shaped the area since both jurisdictions were established.
Mount Stakes represents a destination for mountaineers and county peak collectors who aim to reach the highest points in each California jurisdiction.
Access is through Henry Coe State Park with a lengthy round-trip hike from Bell Station Gate. On certain April weekends, limited vehicle access into the park reduces the walking distance significantly.
The peak attracts collectors seeking to reach the highest point in every California county. This particular pursuit has created a community of adventurers exploring the state's summit destinations.
