El Paso Mountains

El Paso Mountains

The El Paso Mountains are located in central southern California in the United States. The range lies in a southwest-northeasterly direction east of Highway 14, and north of the Rand Mountains and Randsburg Red Rock Road. Red Rock Canyon State Park lies at the western end of the range.

The mountains are approximately 18 miles long and 16 miles north and northeast of California City. The mountains are home to the Burro Schmidt Tunnel, a tunnel dug by hand by William "Burro" H. Schmidt between 1906 and 1938.
