Calico Peaks

The Calico Peaks are a remote and rugged mountain range located in the heart of California's Mojave Desert. Formed by ancient volcanic activity, the range features dramatic ridges, canyons, and spires of colorful sedimentary rock in shades of red, white, and tan. The terrain is characterized by steep, rocky slopes, narrow canyons, and scattered stands of hardy pinyon pine and juniper. Wildlife in the range includes bighorn sheep, coyotes, rattlesnakes, and a variety of desert bird species.
