Sierra de Juárez, Mountain range in Tecate and Ensenada, Mexico.

The Sierra de Juárez extends 140 kilometers southward from the California border, reaching elevations of 1,980 meters across its 4,568 square kilometer expanse.

The mountain range formed through tectonic activity when the Baja California peninsula separated from the North American Plate approximately five million years ago.

Constitution 1857 National Park within Sierra de Juárez protects indigenous archaeological sites and maintains traditional hiking paths used by local communities.

The range contains multiple marked trails accessible from Tecate and Ensenada, with winter temperatures at higher elevations requiring warm clothing and proper equipment.

The mountains create a sky island effect where pine and cedar forests thrive above desert landscapes, supporting distinct ecological communities at different elevations.
