Outdoors: Mount Konocti is an important Pomo sacred site
"Rising in the middle of Lake County is a mountain teeming with mystery and legend.
Mount Konocti has been admired, respected, and feared for many centuries by both Native American tribes and white settlers alike.
As part of a convention of the Outdoor Writers Association of California, I was treated to a private tour of the mountain by the faithful stewards of Lake County.
Along the way, we learned stories ranging from fantastical tales of Native American lore to unexplained phenomena to scientifically supportable facts.
The name Konocti comes from the Pomo language, roughly translated as “Mountain Woman.”"
