Vallecito Mountains

The Vallecito Mountains are a small, rugged mountain range located in eastern San Diego County, California. Characterized by steep, rocky terrain and deep canyons, this range sits within the larger Laguna Mountains and features a mix of chaparral, pine, and fir forests. Elevations range from around 3,000 feet in the canyons to over 6,000 feet at the highest peaks. Geologically, the range is an uplifted fault block composed primarily of granitic and metamorphic rock.
