		This is the Sierra de San Pedro Mártir, an island of rugged forested ridges and broad meadows, standing high above the coastal slopes to the west and dropping sharply to the San Felipe desert on the east.
		The Sierra de San Pedro Mártir is a northwest-to-southeast oriented fault block feature consisting of massive granitic units that have been thrust during the past several million years to their present lofty position.
		The Sierra de San Pedro Mártir is a good example of a "sky island." The species which inhabit this mountain range have been separated from related organisms that live in adjacent high-elevation areas by their inability to cross the intervening hotter, drier low-elevation lands.

		A Louisiana Pacific mill four hours north of the sierra in El Sauzal, near Ensenada, stands ready to receive the logs and convert the centuries old trees into board feet for a fraction of the cost it would take to do the same on the other side of the border.
		Unlike the Sierra Nevada, where decades of fire suppression together with an aggressively efficient extraction of the biggest trees has created a dense and younger "crop" of trees, almost every tree in the Sierra San Pedro Martir is a big tree, a logger's "pumpkin" worth $3-$4,000 each.
		The sierra is the watershed and irrigation source for the agricultural lands below, and logging and subsequent erosion could bring the mountains to the sea.
