Gasquet Mountain
Elevation 2632'

A quick morning hike in northern California
December 31, 2025
41.8778°N / 123.9854°W

Gasquet Mountain is located in the Klamath Mountains of northern California. Named for the nearby town of Gasquet, and located not for from Crescent City. A well graded road leads to the start of the hike, with another side road making for a sporting hike to near the summit. Only the final 20 yards requires some bushwhacking to reach the highpoint.

	I was looking for a quick morning hike while my wife slept in during a little road trip we were taking. Gasquet Mountain ended up being a good choice. Here’s a view from where I started the hike, just before dawn.
	A side road led up toward the summit, with not much elevation gain to contend with.
	The last 20 yards was a short but challenging bushwack.
	After some searching, I found the summit cairn in the brush.
	Then just a quick hike back to the starting point.
	Map of my route. Just under 2 miles and 200' elevation gain round trip, in a leisurely 40 minutes of hiking.
