SAN BERNARDINO MOUNTAINS

segment of the Pacific Coast Ranges, extending southeastward for 55 mi (90 km) from Cajon Pass to San Gorgonio Pass in southern California, U.S. The two main peaks, San Bernardino (10,630 ft ) and San Gorgonio (11,502 ft; highest point in southern California), lie east of the city of San Bernardino. Much of the range is embraced by a division of the San Bernardino National Forest, where the main activities are tourism and outdoor recreation. The mountains also serve as an important watershed for the surrounding area.
