Calico Mountains

The Calico Mountains are a small, rugged mountain range located in the Mojave Desert of southeastern California. This range is characterized by a diverse landscape of steep, jagged peaks, deep canyons, and barren, colorful rock formations. The geology of the Calico Mountains is dominated by layers of volcanic and sedimentary rock, with dramatic vertical cliffs and ridges carved by erosion over time. Elevations range from around 3,000 feet in the canyons to over 5,500 feet at the highest peaks, creating a challenging yet scenic environment for outdoor recreation.
