	Mountain ranges of the western U.S.
		Uplift of these mountain ranges did not occur during a single geologic period, but instead occurred at different times in the geologic past in response to the ever-changing plate tectonic forces that were being exerted along the western edge of the North American plate.
		Mountain ranges within a particular geotectonic province are likely to have undergone uplift during roughly similar times, although such uplift could have occurred over periods of tens of millions of years.
		The present physiographies of the mountain ranges and landscape in the major geologic provinces are not only profoundly influenced by their tectonic origins and properties of the rocks they are made of, but are shaped by erosional processes and the present and past regional climate.

		Aerial view of linear valleys and mountain ranges that characterize the Basin and Range Province.
		Along these roughly north-south-trending faults mountains were uplifted and valleys down-dropped, producing the distinctive alternating pattern of linear mountain ranges and valleys of the Basin and Range province.
		Although there are other types of faults in the Basin and Range province, the extension and crustal stretching that have shaped the present landscape produce mostly normal faults.

	Audubon WatchList - Mountain Quail
		Mountain Quail can be quite difficult to see, but in the spring and summer, males' loud, frequently-given "queark" calls announce the presence of this species in an area.
		Mountain Quail are found year-round in the major mountain ranges of the West Coast of North America--the Sierra Nevada, Cascade, and Coast Ranges.
		Mountain Quail declined greatly in eastern Washington, eastern Oregon, and Nevada during the last half of the 1900s, and the species has nearly been extirpated from Idaho, where it was once common.

		The Pacific Province straddles the boundaries between several of Earth's moving plates—the source of the monumental forces required to build the sweeping arc of mountains that extends from Alaska to the southern reaches of South America.
		This province includes the active and sometimes deadly volcanoes of the Cascade Range and the young, steep mountains of the Pacific Border and the Sierra Nevada.
		The rocks that form the backbone of the Sierra Nevada are mostly granitic rocks that formed during the Mesozoic Era, when dinosaurs roamed the Earth.

		The entire range is brimming with trout-filled (and highly scenic) lakes, and parts of the range are open high country with vast, rolling expanses of tundra.
		Near this range, between it and the Wasatch proper, are the Wellsville Mountains, a subrange of the Wasatch.
		The Wellsville Mountains, the highpoint of which is Box Elder Peak, are not that high-- like the Bear River Range, they do not top 10,000'-- but their northern location makes them far more alpine in nature than they would be in the southern parts of the state.

	Fossil Leaves And Seeds In West-Central Nevada
		Nevada Bureau of Mines And Geology selected fresh samples from hornblende rhyolite tuffs present near the middle of the Middlegate Formation.
		Such a forest is dominated by evergreen dicotyledons, principally madrone, Golden chinkapin, tanbark oak and several specimens of oak; typical evergreen shrubs include buckbrush, mountain mahogany, toyon, sumac and manzanita--all of which contribute to a classical chaparral botanic association.
		There are also obvious relationships to the modern groves of Giant Sequoia in both the northern and southern portions of the Sierra Nevada, particularly the North Grove (southeast of Auburn) in Placer County and the Tule River Grove near Belknap Creek in Tulare County.

	Eureka County, Nevada -- Yucca Mountain Information Office -- Draft EIS Comments - Eureka County, Nevada
		The DEIS must disclose the impacts upon Eureka County agriculture of: (1) construction and operation of a railroad, (2) construction and operation of access roads, (3) railroad and access road fences, (4) water withdrawals during construction, (5) introduction and spread of noxious weeds, and (6) increased risk of wildfire.
		The Yucca Mountain repository is an excellent example of this type of "justice." The DOE’s risk models are based on avoiding urban areas, and presume that risks from the project should be borne by rural people.
		Eureka County’s primary responsibility in relation to the proposed Yucca Mountain project is to protect the health and safety of the residents of the County.

	Eureka County, Nevada -- Yucca Mountain Information Office — EIS Comments
		Nevada’s rural areas provide increasingly rare unspoiled views of the basin and range region, and include numerous scenic resources, none of which are identified in the DEIS.
		The DEIS must specifically disclose the impacts of the proposed action on winter deer range in the vicinity of Beowawe, including the Horseshoe Ranch, and the impacts on deer migration between winter range in the Dry Hills northeast of Hot Springs Point and summer range to the north.
		Eureka County is especially concerned about this proposal due to its immediate proximity to Nevada and the potential for increased transportation-related impacts on Eureka County and neighboring counties from shipments of SNF and HLW to and from Tooele County.

	Peakbagger.com - Nevada Peaks with 2000 feet of Prominence
		A quirk of prominence as a mountain measure is that desert fault-block range high points tend to have very high prominence values, and Nevada is 98% covered by this kind of terrain.
		No one has completed this list, and it is unlikely to happen soon, since Bald Mountain in the Groom Range (peak #30) is located on the Nellis Air Force base, a nuclear test site.
		Prominence values in this list may not agree 100% with sources, due to different interpretations of key col spot elevations and out-dated peak elevations in the PBC Database.

	Sierra Nevada Bighorn Sheep - National Zoo\| FONZ
		Mountain lions started killing off the Sierra Nevada bighorns at such a great rate that the population began to drop again.
		While there are no good estimates of the mountain lion population, Wehausen and Torres pieced together the available evidence and concluded that the population in the eastern Sierra Nevada increased dramatically during the 1980s.
		The evidence that the mountain lion population surged in the eastern Sierra Nevada during the 1980s was indirect but strong.

	Mountain Home awaits word on base realignment
		The range was upgraded in the late 1990s when the 11,300-acre Juniper Butte bombing range was added to supplement the 109,466-acre Saylor Creek bombing range.
		Located just a few flight minutes away from the base, the two bombing ranges allow pilots to hone their skills against lifelike targets, such as a simulated airfield and building complexes, and evade simulated threats.
		The training range is far from the most heavily traveled commercial and private airplane flight lanes, which means military pilots pretty much have the sky to themselves.
