Jamul Mountains

The Jamul Mountains are a small, rugged mountain range located in eastern San Diego County, California. Characterized by steep, rocky terrain, the Jamul Mountains rise abruptly from the surrounding valleys and foothills. The range is primarily composed of chaparral-covered slopes and canyons, with scattered oak and pine woodlands at higher elevations. Geologically, the Jamul Mountains are part of the Peninsular Ranges, an extensive series of mountain ranges extending from Southern California into Baja California, Mexico.
