Preston Peak, Mountain summit in Siskiyou County, California, US
Preston Peak rises to 7,313 feet in elevation within the Siskiyou Wilderness of Klamath National Forest, featuring vertical granite walls and multiple lakes.
Early travelers on the Klamath River estimated the mountain's height at 10,000 feet, demonstrating the peak's significant visual impact on regional exploration.
The Karuk people named this mountain keech'íihyan, maintaining a long-standing connection to this prominent natural landmark in northern California.
The summit offers two main climbing routes: the Northwest Ridge through Raspberry Lake and the West Slope through Rattlesnake Meadows.
The Forest Service established the Preston Peak Botanical and Geological Area due to the presence of Alaska cedar and noble fir at their southern range limit.
