Crest of the Santa Rosas

10 Jun 2021 8 5 251
Looking south, where the Summit Trail crosses. Elevation here is a bit over 8000 ft/2440 m. The Santa Rosa Mountains, up next to the Oregon border, are another little-known Nevada range with peaks near 10,000 feet. The fact that the lingering snow is mostly just below the crests on the east side shows the direction of the prevailing winter storms! The insets show some other views in the vicinity. This area lies in the Santa Rosa-Paradise Peak Wilderness.
