About Mescal Range

The Mescal Range is a small, rugged mountain range located in the southeastern corner of California, near the border with Arizona. Rising up from the desert landscape, the Mescal Range features steep, jagged peaks and deep, narrow canyons carved by intermittent streams. The terrain is predominantly rocky and arid, with sparse vegetation including desert scrub, yucca, and ocotillo. Despite the harsh environment, the range provides habitat for a variety of wildlife, including bighorn sheep, coyotes, and a variety of bird species.
