Mayan Peak

6108'

Mayan Peak is located in Kern County, about 27 miles north of Mojave, 140 miles from Los Angeles. It located on BLM land near the Pacific Crest Trail and Sequoia National Forest. Mayan Peak was added to the HPS Peak List in 1970. See the Summit Signature for more history and some background about the name of the peak.

Peak Guides
HPS has one documented route to the peak. Route 1 is 3 miles round trip with 1800' of gain, all cross-country, a sandy slog up and a fun scree slide down.
