Pacific Ranges Central and Southern California Ranges

Mount Hawkins

8,850 ft

Mount Hawkins is a prominent peak located in the Pacific Ranges mountain range, part of the San Gabriel Mountains in Southern California. Rising to an impressive elevation of 8,850 feet (2,700 meters), it offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding wilderness. This mountain is a popular destination for mountaineers and hikers due to its accessibility and challenging terrain.

During the winter season, Mount Hawkins receives an average snowpack ranging from 3 to 6 feet (0.9 to 1.8 meters), making it an excellent destination for winter sports enthusiasts. The snowpack gradually melts during the spring, contributing to the flow of several creeks and rivers in the area. One notable watercourse affected by the mountain's runoff is the East Fork San Gabriel River, known for its scenic beauty and recreational opportunities.

The name of Mount Hawkins honors Benjamin Davis Wilson, a prominent Californian pioneer and politician. It was named after his Welsh grandfather, Edward T. Hawkins. While there may not be any specific legends or lore associated with Mount Hawkins, its historical significance in the region adds to its allure. When exploring the mountain, it is essential to consult reliable sources for up-to-date information on trail conditions and safety guidelines to ensure a successful and enjoyable mountaineering experience.
