Fish Creek Mountains

The Fish Creek Mountains are a small mountain range located in northeastern California, near the Nevada border. This rugged, remote range is characterized by steep, rocky terrain, with numerous canyons and dry creek beds carving through the landscape. The mountains rise abruptly from the surrounding high desert, reaching elevations over 8,000 feet. Vegetation is sparse, consisting primarily of sagebrush, pinyon pine, and juniper trees. Wildlife in the range includes mule deer, bighorn sheep, coyotes, and a variety of birds of prey.
