Gender, form, and etymology
Etymology:
The Tehachapi Mountains are delineated from the more western San Emigdio Mountains by Tejon Pass. The dramatic incline of Interstate 5 from the San Joaquin Valley floor up to the pass is regionally referred to as The Grapevine, after Grapevine Canyon which it follows between the northern slopes of the two mountain ranges. The canyon was named after the California grapevine (Vitis californica) found on its slopes.
