Hat Mountain, Mountain summit in Lassen County, California
Hat Mountain is a summit in the Warner Mountains of northeastern California with a distinctive triangular shape. Its eastern face drops steeply while the western side rises gradually, reaching about 8,741 feet.
Climbers began recording their visits to the peak in a summit register established in 1991. These sparse entries over three decades reflect how rarely people reach this remote location.
Native American tribes inhabited the territories surrounding Hat Mountain before European settlers arrived in the Modoc National Forest region of northeastern California.
The route follows rough forest service roads that are difficult to navigate and then crosses unmarked terrain through thick forest and old logging routes. Bringing a detailed map or GPS device is important since trails are not clearly marked.
On clear days the summit offers views toward distant volcanoes including Mount Shasta and Lassen Peak. This far-reaching vista makes the remote location worthwhile for visitors interested in panoramic views.
