Gabilan Range

The Gabilan Range is a small mountain range located in central California, situated primarily in Monterey County. The range is characterized by rugged, steep terrain with a mix of chaparral vegetation, oak woodlands, and scattered rock formations. The Gabilan Mountains are part of the California Coast Ranges, extending for approximately 30 miles from the Salinas Valley in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west. While not as prominent as some larger mountain ranges in the state, the Gabilan Range offers opportunities for outdoor recreation within a relatively compact geographic area.
