Fort Sage Mountains

The Fort Sage Mountains are a small but rugged mountain range located in western Nevada, near the California border. Rising abruptly from the surrounding high desert, the range is characterized by steep, rocky slopes, craggy peaks, and narrow canyons. The terrain is primarily composed of metamorphic and igneous rock, with pockets of alpine meadows and sparse pine-juniper forests. Elevations range from around 5,000 feet in the foothills to over 8,500 feet at the highest summits.
