About Kit Fox Hills

The Kit Fox Hills are a small, gentle mountain range located in the eastern foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in central California. The terrain is characterized by rolling hills, grassy meadows, and scattered stands of pine and oak trees. The highest peaks reach only around 7,500 feet in elevation, making the range relatively low-profile compared to the towering Sierra mountains to the west. However, the range's proximity to the Sierra and its remote, unspoiled character make it a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts seeking a more secluded experience.
