Mountains
Our highest mountain peaks—the coolest and wettest areas of southern
California—are home to some of the last conifer forests in the region. As southern
California becomes hotter and drier, oak woodland and conifer forest habitats
are shrinking. The Cuyamaca Mountains just east of San Diego are one place
where hundreds of diverse mountain-forest species can coexist.
