Butterbredt Peak

5997'

Butterbredt Peak is located in Kern County, about 22 miles north of Mojave, 140 miles from Los Angeles. It located on BLM land near Jawbone Canyon. Butterbredt Peak was added to the HPS Peak List in 1969. See the Summit Signature for more history and some background about the name of the peak.

Peak Guides
HPS has two documented routes to the peak. Route 1 is 2 miles round trip with 1200' of gain, mainly on a motorbike track. Route 2 is slightly harder: 2.7 miles round trip, 1400' gain, ascending an interesting but not difficult ridge.

Older Peak Guides (routes may no longer be legal or safe, use caution!): 1973, 1987, and 2001 Microsoft Word version.
