Cajon Pass![]() Looking south down the Cajon Pass
The
San Andreas fault,
where the North American and Pacific continental
plates meet and grind together, a mountain range was formed millions of
years ago. The single range divided and was cut at a right angle by
streams flowing toward the lower basin, the higher plate tore away
from the ridges. To the east, the
San Bernardino range, to
the west, the
San Gabriels. This breach in the mountains became the
"Cajon Pass." In Spanish, "Cajon", translates to "Box", which they felt
the pass was shaped like. Views from the Cajon Summit Stand on the summit and look around.
