Pacifico Mountain is a 7,129 ft (2,173 m) mountain located in the San Gabriel Mountains in the Angeles National Forest in Los Angeles County, California. [1] [2]

Description

Pacifico Mountain is located approximately 10 miles south-southwest of Littlerock, California. [1]

The Pacific Crest Trail traverses the mountain and is the primary hiking route to the summit. [1] [3]   The hike to the summit involves a strenuous 11.9 mile route with an elevation gain of 2,490 ft (759 m). [3]  A longer alternate hiking route is via Three Points on Angeles Crest Highway to the southeast.  [4]

There is a campground on Pacifico Mountain which can be accessed by vehicle on Forest Service Road 3N17. [5] The road to the campground closes for the season when the first winter storm is projected.  [5]

Pacifico Mountain is located on the USGS 7.5 minute quadrangle map entitled “Pacifico Mountain.” [2]

The peak was added to the Peak List of the Hundred Peaks Section of the Sierra Club in 1946. [6]
