Ciervo Hills

The Ciervo Hills are a small mountain range located in central California, just east of the Diablo Range. This compact range features a mix of rolling hills, rocky outcrops, and isolated peaks. The terrain is generally rugged and steep, with numerous canyons and ravines cutting through the landscape. Elevations range from around 2,000 feet in the foothills up to just over 6,000 feet on the highest summits. The climate is Mediterranean, with hot, dry summers and cool, wet winters. Vegetation is dominated by chaparral, oak woodlands, and scattered pine and juniper forests at higher elevations.
