Duckwater Hills

The Duckwater Hills are a small mountain range located in central Nevada, near the town of Duckwater. The range rises abruptly from the surrounding desert landscape, with rugged, rocky slopes and steep canyons. The terrain is predominantly made up of granite and limestone, with some areas of volcanic rock. Elevations in the Duckwater Hills range from around 6,000 feet to the highest point, Duckwater Peak, at 8,123 feet. The range's remote location and sparse vegetation create a harsh, arid environment that is home to a variety of desert-adapted plants and wildlife.
