The Silver Peak Range

Took a morning hike in the north end of the Silver Peak Range today
while driving from Tonopah to Reno. As is often the case, I was the
only one around in a spectacular place in the Nevada desert.

This park-worthy area includes a photogenic array ot tilted and
faulted Miocene and Pliocene(?) volcanics and sediments. Oh, and a
nice little aeolian causeway that funnels through part of it, and
plenty more.
