Chief Range

The Chief Range is a remote and rugged mountain range located in the northwest corner of Nevada. This isolated range is characterized by steep, rocky peaks and deep canyons carved by glaciers during the last ice age. The terrain is primarily granite with sparse vegetation, creating a dramatic and desolate landscape. Elevations range from around 6,000 feet in the valleys to over 11,000 feet at the highest summits. The Chief Range experiences a typical high desert climate, with hot, dry summers and cold, snowy winters.
