About Granite Range

The Granite Range is a rugged and geologically unique mountain range located in west-central Nevada. Composed primarily of granite and metamorphic rock, the range features steep, angular peaks and deep, glacially-carved valleys. The terrain is generally rough and challenging, with few established trails but ample opportunities for off-trail exploration. The Granite Range experiences a high-desert climate, with hot, dry summers and cold, snowy winters.
