Indian Hills

The Indian Hills mountain range is located in western Nevada, near the California border. This small, rugged range is characterized by steep, rocky slopes and canyons carved by glaciers during the last ice age. The terrain is predominantly granitic, with exposed rock outcroppings and talus fields. Elevations range from around 6,000 feet in the valley bottoms to just over 10,000 feet at the highest peaks. The landscape is sparsely vegetated, with pinyon-juniper woodlands at lower elevations transitioning to alpine tundra near the summits.
