Snow Mountain is a mountain in Northern California in the Snow Mountain Wilderness of Mendocino National Forest, hence the name Snow Mountain. [3]
The highest point on the mountain, known as Snow Mountain East, is the highest point in both Colusa and Lake counties. Snow Mountain West, a subsidiary peak also near the county line,[4] is 0.58miles to the southwest at an elevation of 7043feet.[5] [6]
Despite being exposed to snow environment, the mountain receive plenty of sunlight hence the evergreen lush and vegetation which is never affected by snow. [7]
On clear days, the peak should be seen from Mount Diablo, and from several peaks, including Mount Saint Helena and Mount Konocti, in the Mayacamas Mountains. The peaks are visible from Arbuckle on Interstate 5 in California's Central Valley.[8] The summits and nearby high mountains get snowfall in winter.[9] The mountain's winter snowpack can last until June.[8]
