Riverside Mountains, Protected mountain range in Riverside County, United States
The Riverside Mountains extend across 24,004 acres of land, featuring steep interiors and sloping bajadas with an elevation reaching 2,252 feet.
The Bureau of Land Management designated the Riverside Mountains as a protected wilderness area in 1994, preserving its natural geological formations.
Native American tribes inhabited the region surrounding the Riverside Mountains, utilizing the Colorado River and mountain resources for sustenance.
Visitors can access the mountain range through designated trails, with the Colorado River forming the eastern boundary near the town of Vidal.
The mountains contain unusual north-south trending crustal formations, distinct from the typical east-west patterns found in North American mountain ranges.
