Gavilan Peak, Mountains


Fremont Peak is a prominence in the Gabilan Range, one of the mountain ranges paralleling California's central coast. The peak affords clear views of the Salinas Valley and Monterey Bay. Previously called Gavilan Peak, it is now named for John C. Frémont, an American explorer and general. In 1846, he and a crew of 60 armed surveyors mounted the peak to assess its military value. The peak commands the inland approach from Monterey.
