Name

The mountain is visible from Beckwourth Pass through which Ina Coolbrith traveled, at the age of 11, with a party led by James Beckwourth.^[3][4] She would later claim to have been the first white child brought into California. The mountain was officially renamed in 1932 by the United States Geographic Board^[3] with the support of the California State Legislature and the Western Pacific Railroad.^[4][5][6]

Geography

Mount Ina Coolbrith is located on the eastern edge of Sierra Valley in the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, 6.5 miles (10.5 km) south southeast of Beckwourth Pass, 5.5 miles (8.9 km) northeast of Loyalton, and 5.8 miles (9.3 km) west of Highway 395 . Most of the mountain, including its summit, is in Sierra County, California; however, the lower northern flanks extend into Plumas County and Lassen County.
