Three Peaks
About
Three Peaks is a summit in California, about 3.5 miles from the town of Angwin. Short trails run close by: the Three Peaks Shortcut starts about 0.2 miles away, and the Candlestick Ridge Trail is about 0.3 miles off. Late spring and mid-fall are the most comfortable times to visit. A nearby weather station in Angwin records typical May highs around 73°F and lows near 47°F, and October highs around 72°F with lows near 50°F. That station sits well below the summit, so temperatures up top run cooler. Within about 5.5 miles, climbers can head to Bell Canyon, about 4.4 miles away. Paddlers have Pope Creek, about 5.5 miles from the summit.
