Thanks! It's not granite but limestone. The Spring Mountains are entirely sedimentary rock, with the highest parts mostly Paleozoic limestone.

Thanks! People are often surprised that mountains of this size are in the immediate vicinity of Vegas. As you might imagine, it's a traditional area to escape from the desert heat! There are some summer cabins and such, but much is now designated wilderness.
