Four Gables is a 12,776-foot Sierra Nevada summit in northern California, in the John Muir Wilderness on the boundary of Sierra and Inyo national forests. Likely named by the United States Geological Survey during a 1907 to 1909 survey and officially adopted in 1911, it rises prominently above Horton Lake and stands near Basin Mountain, Mount Tom, and Merriam Peak. Its first recorded ascent was made in 1931 by Norman Clyde, a climber known for 130 first ascents, mostly in the Sierra Nevada. The mountain lies in an alpine climate zone, and its slopes drain west to the South Fork San Joaquin River and east toward the Owens River.
