Crest is located high up, about 5,469 feet (or 1,667 meters) above sea level!

About Crest

Crest is situated about 12 miles (or 19 kilometers) north-northwest of another place called Karlo. It's also found along the route of the historic Southern Pacific Railroad. This railroad was once a very important way to travel and transport goods across the western United States.
