Elko Hills

The Elko Hills are a small mountain range located in northeastern Nevada, near the city of Elko. The range is characterized by rugged, rocky terrain and a series of peaks and ridges that rise abruptly from the surrounding high desert landscape. Elevations in the range generally top out between 7,000 and 9,000 feet, with the highest point being Winnemucca Mountain at 8,734 feet. The hills are mostly covered in a mix of sagebrush, pinyon pine, and juniper, providing a stark, arid backdrop for outdoor recreation.
