About Dolly Varden Mountains

The Dolly Varden Mountains are a small, rugged mountain range located in central Nevada. Characterized by steep, rocky peaks and deep, forested canyons, the range rises abruptly from the surrounding high desert landscape. The terrain is generally alpine in nature, with talus slopes, boulder fields, and glacial cirques prevalent at higher elevations. The range experiences a continental climate with hot, dry summers and cold, snowy winters.
