History

Despite its relatively low elevation, the officially unnamed summit is the highest point in Yolo County. [1] [3] Little Blue Peak didn't always have that distinction, formerly Berryessa Peak 3,057 feet (932 m) [3] was considered to be the Yolo County highpoint. in 1991 John Sarna discovered that this summit is over 80 feet (24 m) higher than Berryessa's, therefore the county's highest. [3]
