About Copper Mountains
The Copper Mountains are a small but rugged mountain range located in northwestern Nevada. Formed by volcanic and tectonic activity, the range features steep, rocky peaks and canyons carved by intermittent streams. The terrain is generally arid with sparse vegetation, though pockets of pinyon-juniper woodlands and mountain mahogany can be found. Wildlife in the range includes bighorn sheep, mule deer, and various birds of prey.
