Mount Vaca, Mountain summit in Napa and Solano counties, California, US
Mount Vaca rises to 2,822 feet above sea level, marking the highest elevation point in both the Vaca Mountains and Solano County, California.
Juan Manuel Cabeza Vaca received the Rancho Los Putos Mexican land grant in 1843, leading to the mountain's current name and regional development.
The summit functions as a geographical boundary between Napa and Solano counties, influencing local identity and regional planning initiatives.
Access to Mount Vaca requires following Mix Canyon Road or Gates Canyon Road from Vacaville, connecting to Blue Ridge Road toward the summit.
The mountain houses a KPIX-TV Doppler radar station, essential for tracking weather patterns and preventing blind spots in San Francisco Bay Area forecasts.
