Nevada
Its high, cool forested mountain landscape is in sharp contrast to the surrounding desert landscape, much like an oasis. In various portions of the Forest one can stand upon cool, rugged, pine-covered or subalpine slopes at 11,000 feet and above and look down upon rolling arid foothills covered with pinyon pine, juniper and sagebrush, or Joshua trees, creosote brush and blackbrush. The wide plains of the interrange valleys provide a striking contrast to the overall ruggedness of the high, rocky ranges above.
