About Los Viejos

The Los Viejos mountain range is a rugged and remote wilderness area located in the central Sierra Nevada mountains of California. Characterized by steep granite peaks, deep canyons, and alpine lakes, the landscape offers a challenging yet rewarding outdoor experience. The range's geology dates back millions of years, with the highest summits formed from ancient volcanic intrusions. Dense coniferous forests cover the lower slopes, giving way to bare rock and permanent snowfields at higher elevations.
