Sierra Mazatán, Monsoon 2014

Also known as the Sierra Huerfana by locals, this granitic mound east of Hermosillo harbors beautiful oak woodland and lush thorn-scrub on it's slopes. Find more info about this range at our Sky Island Profile. This trip was a Madrean Archipelago Biodiversity Assessment trip, recording flora and fauna from the mountain.
