Cobb Mountain, Mountain summit in Lake County, California.
Cobb Mountain is a 1440-meter summit in the Mayacamas Mountains and the highest peak in this range. The area is heavily forested and features multiple hiking routes of varying difficulty.
The mountain was named after John Cobb, a pioneer who settled in the region in 1853 and served as a county assessor. His presence shaped the early development of the local community.
The mountain is home to spiritual retreat centers where visitors can experience quiet spaces dedicated to meditation and contemplation. These places reflect how the local community values peaceful reflection and personal practice.
The trail to the summit covers about 2.5 miles and crosses private property, requiring physical stamina for the uphill sections. Weekend visits generally offer better access and are typically easier to arrange than visits during the week.
The mountain sits atop a geothermal field where multiple power plants tap underground heat to generate electricity. This hidden energy source beneath the surface makes the region geologically distinctive.
