Jepson Peak is a summit, west of San Gorgonio Mountain, in the San Gorgonio Wilderness. It is the second highest summit in Southern California,[4] but most authors would not rank this peak because it has less than of prominence and does not qualify as an independent peak.[5]
The peak is named for Willis Linn Jepson, who was a University of California botanist and a charter member of the Sierra Club.[2]
