Front Country Ranger District -
Cajon Ranger Station
Welcome
to the Cajon Ranger Station located in Lytle Creek. The area
offers a popular year-round stream gathering place for urban families.
Steep, chaparral-covered hillsides with perennial and intermittent
streams and fragmented riparian vegetation, coastal sage scrub,
scattered groves of large sugar pine and bigcone Douglas-fir provide
important wildlife habitat.
Lytle Creek lies at the eastern-most extension of the San Gabriel
Mountains. The area is highly dissected by deep canyons, steep slopes,
cliffs, and narrow ridges. The North, Middle, and South Forks of Lytle
Creek are the dominant physical features, which has been a popular
recreation destination for many generations of local residents from the
cities of San Bernardino, Rialto, Fontana, and Colton.
Elevations range from 2,000 feet along the Interstate-15 corridor to
9,000 feet. Cucamonga Peak, the Cucamonga Wilderness, the Sheep
Mountain Wilderness and Mt. San Antonio typify the rugged, mountainous
country west of the I-15 transportation corridor The climate of the area
ranges from Mediterranean to mountain, from temperate to hot, with
cooler temperatures at the higher elevations. Precipitation ranges from
seven inches at lower elevation to 40 inches, with snow in the winter on
the taller peaks.
We are located on Lytle Creek Road north of Interstate 15 (Sierra Ave
Exit)
