Salmon Mountain, Mountain summit in Humboldt County, California, United States.

Salmon Mountain is a peak in the Klamath Mountains of Northern California that rises to approximately 6,962 feet. The summit sits within a forested landscape marked by multiple ridges and valleys that shape the terrain across the region.

The peak served as a reference point for early surveys and mapping efforts across Northern California. Over time the area became part of protected wilderness lands and remains a defined feature in the region's geography.

Salmon Mountain lies within the Trinity Alps Wilderness, a protected area of Six Rivers National Forest. The surrounding slopes are covered in conifer forest, and the mountain's name comes from the salmon runs of the Salmon River below. Visitors today find a remote summit with no facilities, reached only on foot.
