Cedar Range

The Cedar Range is a small mountain range located in western Nevada, near the California border. The range is characterized by rugged, arid terrain with steep canyons and exposed rock faces. Elevations in the range span from around 5,000 feet in the valleys to over 11,000 feet at the highest peaks. The climate is generally dry and continental, with hot summers and cold, snowy winters. Vegetation in the range is sparse, dominated by drought-resistant shrubs and grasses. Wildlife includes mule deer, bighorn sheep, and various small mammals and birds adapted to the harsh desert environment.
