Hat Mountain is a mountain located in the Warner Mountains south of Eagle Peak in California. The peak, which rises to an elevation of 8,737 feet (2,663 m), is the highest point in Lassen County. Lost Lake is located to the northwest of the summit. Most of the precipitation that falls on Hat Mountain is snow due to the high elevation.
Famous quotes containing the words hat and/or mountain:
“It’s no go the Government grants, it’s no go the elections, Sit on your arse for fifty years and hang your hat on a pension.”
—Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)
“... my mother ... piled up her hair and went out to teach in a one-room school, mountain children little and big alike. The first day, some fathers came along to see if she could whip their children, some who were older than she. She told the children that she did intend to whip them if they became unruly and refused to learn, and invited the fathers to stay if they liked and she’d be able to whip them too. Having been thus tried out, she was a great success with them after that.”
—Eudora Welty (b. 1909)
