About Diabase Hills
The Diabase Hills are a small mountain range located in the remote northeastern corner of Nevada. Composed primarily of diabase rock, a type of igneous intrusion, the range features distinctive rounded peaks and gentle slopes. The terrain is characterized by a mix of rugged canyons, rocky outcrops, and sparse high-desert vegetation. While not exceptionally high, the hills provide a scenic wilderness experience in an otherwise flat and arid landscape.
