Mount Linn

Linn is protected within the Yolla Bolly-Middle Eel Wilderness, in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest section.The summit of Mount Linn is the highest point in the Northern California Coast Ranges segment of the Coastal Crest, south of the Trinity Alps range's high peaks, also in the Klamath Mountains System.[1] The elevation of the mountain ensures it receives heavy winter snowfall and it has low average annual temperature near the summit.[3] A tarn named Square Lake is located in a cirque on Mount Linn's north slope.The mountain was named by John C. Frémont in honor of Lewis F. Linn, a senator from Missouri, who played an important role in the acquisition of the Oregon Territory.
