CA County Summit Log
Here is a list of the 58 California county summits, compiled from Gary Suttle's California County Summits book. When I lived in California I set a long-term goal of mine is to do all of them solely via human power (e.g., by hiking, climbing, snowshoeing, or even bicycling). So far I have climbed 13. Now that I live in Colorado, accomplishing that may take a long longer, if at all.
Despite there being 58 counties, there are only 56 peaks, as two of them are shared by two counties each.
A mostly similar list of California county high points can also be found on Wikipedia.
