Black Mountains

The Black Mountains are a small, rugged mountain range located in southeastern California, near the Nevada border. The range is characterized by steep, rocky slopes, deep canyons, and sparse vegetation typical of the Mojave Desert. Elevations range from around 3,000 feet in the foothills to just over 7,000 feet at the highest peaks. The mountains are composed primarily of igneous and metamorphic rock, with outcrops of granite and limestone visible in many areas.
