11773 ft/3588 m, in the southern Toiyabe Range, Nevada, and the high point of the range. It's the centerpiece of the Arc Dome Wilderness Area, which includes all the area in the picture. The drainage in the foreground is the Reese "River" (actually a creek), which rises in the range off to the right of the picture. Taken from the Cow Canyon trail, looking mostly east.

Reese River, southern Toiyabe Range, Nevada. The dam is at the far end of the pond.

Well, yes. "River" is a stretch, particularly this time of year! Near its headwaters in the Arc Dome Wilderness area. The name is supposed to come from a 19th century scam suggesting the "river" was big enough to be navigable.

Cool, (not so) clear, water. Cole and Jill in the Reese "River," which is really a creek. The Reese is here particularly shrunken because it's near the end of summer. Cow Canyon trail, Arc Dome Wilderness, Toiyabe Range, Nevada. With apologies to The Sons of the Pioneers...

Well, yes. It should be Reese "Creek", at most! Apparently the name is the result of a 19th century scam suggesting the "river" was big enough to be navigable. Central Nevada, USA.

Nevada, USA. Looking west from the Toiyabe Crest Trail, atop the Toiyabe Range. Shoshone Mountains in the middle distance; Smith Creek Valley and the Desatoya Mountains beyond. Brewer Canyon in the foreground.
