This is a Mountain range about 10 mile from Vegas. Really beautiful and so close - and NO casinos-- although they are probably trying to place a few there.
I traveled through Nevada out to California when I moved from the east coast and Nevada Mountains and the terrain in General really comes as close to my idea of being on Mars. Very intriguing Landscapes and rock structures
