About Bristol Range

The Bristol Range is a rugged mountain range located in central Nevada, near the border with Utah. Stretching across a vast expanse of public lands, the range is characterized by steep, rocky peaks and deep canyons carved by intermittent streams. The terrain is generally arid and sparse, with a mix of sagebrush, pinyon-juniper woodland, and alpine tundra at the highest elevations. The range is part of the larger Basin and Range province, exhibiting the typical fault-block mountain geography of the region.
