Understand
Nevada is known for its deserts, but Central Nevada isn't limited to this ecosystem. Instead the region includes alternating mountains and valleys known as "basin and range" topography. The western portion of Central Nevada, exiting the Carson City area, is the driest, and this is the region where many salt flats are found, similar to those encountered in Death Valley. Going east the terrain becomes less like desert, and instead forested at the higher elevations.
