About Dry Lake Range

The Dry Lake Range is a rugged and remote mountain range located in central Nevada. Spanning approximately 40 miles long and 20 miles wide, the range features a diverse landscape of craggy granite peaks, steep-walled canyons, and high-elevation meadows and lakes. The terrain is predominantly rocky and mountainous, with elevations ranging from around 6,000 feet in the valleys to over 11,000 feet at the highest summits. The climate is arid and continental, with hot, dry summers and cold, snowy winters. Vegetation is sparse, consisting mainly of pinyon-juniper woodlands, sagebrush, and hardy alpine plants.
