Snow Mountain Wilderness
Snow Mountain Wilderness, Wilderness area in Northern California, US
Snow Mountain Wilderness spans 60,076 acres across Lake, Glenn, and Colusa counties, featuring mountains that reach elevations of up to 7,056 feet.
The California Wilderness Act of 1984 established this protected area, which later became part of the Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monument in 2015.
The mountain lands hold traces of Miwok and Pomo peoples who maintained settlements in the region before European colonization began in the 1800s.
The wilderness contains 37 miles of maintained trails for hiking and backpacking, with access points available through the Mendocino National Forest road system.
More than 500 plant species grow in distinct ecological zones, from mixed conifer forests at lower elevations to red fir stands on high rocky slopes.
