In the eponymous canyon. South Jackson Mountains wilderness, Nevada.

A steep, rugged, eastward-draining canyon in the Jackson Mountains of northwestern Nevada. Altho the watercourse is dry out here, there is a running creek in the canyon (left insert), as well as trees and shrubs showing fall colors (right insert). This area is now part of the South Jackson Mountains Wilderness.

Carson Range, Nevada, USA. A view back across the other way, more or less north. The odd-looking cloud beyond the immediate skyline ridge is smoke from the Hunter Creek fire, a few miles away. The pond is named for James E. Church, a prof at the University of Nevada. Over a hundred years ago he invented the technique of measuring the winter snowpack to forecast the following year's water supply.
