Herd Peak
Herd Peak is a high mountain peak at an elevation of 2.141m (7,024ft) above the sea level, located in Siskiyou County, California, in USA.
The rough road to the summit, located within the Klamath National Forest, is gravel, rocky, tippy and bumpy at times. Mud and sand are possible. The road is usually impassable from October to June (weather permitting). Great trail for experienced wheelers. High-clearance 4WDs are preferred, but any high-clearance vehicle is acceptable.Expect a trail pretty steep. At the summit there’s a lookout tower. Used for fire detection since 1933, the lookout is well maintained and in near-original condition. The summit offers some wonderful views of Grass Valley, Shasta Valley and beautiful Mount Shasta. The view is well worth it, especially if the view of Mt. Shasta is clear (no clouds).
