Lobos Mountains

The Sierra de Lobos rises north of the Bajío in Guanajuato. High ridges and rounded hills are cut by streams and ravines, while oak and pine-oak woods cover parts of the range. The mountains overlook a frontier between the cultivated valleys farther south and the drier country inhabited by Chichimeca peoples. Their varied slopes shelter woodland as well as scrub adapted to the region’s dry climate.
