Ciervo Hills

The Ciervo Hills are a small and relatively obscure mountain range located in the southern San Joaquin Valley region of central California. Spanning an area of approximately 100 square miles, the hills rise gently from the surrounding flat agricultural plains, topping out at moderate elevations of around 3,000 to 4,500 feet. The terrain consists of rounded, rolling hills and ridges, with a mix of oak woodlands, grasslands, and chaparral vegetation. While not high or rugged, the Ciervo Hills offer a peaceful, remote backcountry environment distinct from the more dramatic Sierra Nevada and Coastal mountain ranges nearby.
