About Fallout Hills

The Fallout Hills are a small, rugged mountain range located in the remote northeastern corner of Nevada. The range is characterized by steep, rocky slopes and sharp, jagged peaks that rise abruptly from the surrounding high desert landscape. The terrain is primarily composed of granite, with scree fields and talus slopes common throughout. Vegetation is sparse, consisting mainly of hardy shrubs and grasses adapted to the arid climate. Elevations range from around 6,000 feet in the foothills to over 10,000 feet at the highest summits.
