The Iron Mountains are a mountain range in eastern San Bernardino County, California.[1] The southern end of the range extends into Riverside County north of Granite Pass.[2]
The range is bordered on the east by
Joshua Tree National Monument and to the south across Granite Pass and California State Route 62 are the Granite Mountains.[2]
The Iron Mountain Pump Plant sits adjacent to the east side of the range and the Colorado River Aqueduct traverses the range through the Iron Mountain Tunnel.[2]
