Schell Creek Range, eastern Nevada. Looking east. The skylined blue range in the distance is the House Range in Utah. And yes, that's the road I'm following! The inset is a closer view, from farther down the canyon, of the limestone cliffs peeking over the ridge in the middle distance.

Looking southwesterly over Duck Creek Valley from the improbably named Kalamazoo Summit Road over the Schell Creek Range, in far eastern Nevada. Every so often the monsoon reaches this far northwest! I'm just below Kalamazoo Summit (8953 ft/2729 m) here. The prominent water gap in the center is Gallagher Gap, where Duck Creek crosses the range of the same name into Steptoe Valley. The small town of Ely (EE-lee, just like the original in England), Nevada is 15-20 miles off in the distance, at the base of the mountains on the far side. It's an old mining town that has a new lease on life from tourism, plus some modest ranching.

Young mule deer ( Odocoileus hemionus ) in aspen--it's a fawn because there are still white spots on the coat. Mule deer get their common name from their large ears. Schell Creek Range, Nevada.
