Elko and Ely are in spectacular locales. Google the Ruby Mountains near Elko. Stunning scenery. The Snake Range near Ely is also spectacular.

But there are rattlesnakes. All one species: Great Basin.

That, I admit. Nevada has utterly stunning mountain vistas.

Some trees would be nice, though. Every time I find some trees in Nevada, they are just on the other side of the California border. It's like they actually went along the tree line to make the State line. It's weird.

And dawn and dusk are beautiful, and balmy and fun while they last. And a desert at night is great for stargazing.

But during the day... it's a blazing oven.
