About Elkhorn Hills
The Elkhorn Hills are a small but rugged mountain range located in the northern part of California. Situated within the Klamath Mountains, the Elkhorn Hills rise abruptly from the surrounding foothills and valleys, offering dramatic vistas and challenging terrain for outdoor enthusiasts. The range is characterized by steep, rocky slopes, dense coniferous forests, and numerous clear-running streams and alpine lakes. Glacial cirques and U-shaped valleys sculpted by past ice ages add to the dramatic landscape.
