Kreyenhagen Peak
About
Kreyenhagen Peak is a summit of 3,550 feet in California's Central California District, on land managed by the Bureau of Land Management. The nearest town is Coalinga, about 12 miles away. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from the Priest Valley weather station, about 8.5 miles away at 2,300 feet, show April highs around 70°F with lows near 35°F, and October similar to May with highs near 79°F. That station sits well below the peak, so temperatures up top run cooler. The Coalinga Mineral Springs National Recreation Trail lies about a mile away, and Los Gatos Creek, a canoeing spot, is roughly 8 miles off.
