About Buffalo Hills
The Buffalo Hills are a small but rugged mountain range located in central Nevada. Rising abruptly from the surrounding high desert, the range features steep, rocky terrain with numerous craggy peaks and deep canyons. The geology is a mix of volcanic and sedimentary rock, leading to a dramatic, almost lunar-like landscape. Elevations range from around 6,000 feet in the valleys to over 9,500 feet at the highest summits. The remote, isolated character of the Buffalo Hills creates a sense of solitude and adventure for outdoor enthusiasts.
