The Elsinore Mountains are a ridge of mountains within the larger range of the Santa Ana Mountains, in the Cleveland National Forest, Riverside County, California, United States.

[2][3] Second is officially named Elsinore Peak at 3,536 ft (1,078 m).

Beyond that peak the ridge begins to descend and curves to the east.

From Elsinore Peak, a ridge runs to the west and then northwest to San Mateo Peak, enclosing the Morrell Potrero on the south and west.
