Adobe Range

The Adobe Range is a minor mountain range of Nevada. Located northwest and north of Elko, Nevada, it runs generally north-south for about 80 mi, and has an area of about 314 sqmi. Its highest point is an unnamed summit of 8134 ft and the named peaks include Sherman Peak (7522 ft), Twin Peaks (East and West, 7475 ft and 7472 ft respectively) and The Buttes (6674 ft).

The vegetation of the range is primarily sagebrush steppe. Various intermittent creeks feed the Humboldt River, which borders the range to the south and east.

Ownership is split roughly equally between private ownership and the Bureau of Land Management. Suburbs of Elko back up to the southern part of the Adobes, where the ski area Elko Snobowl is located. Several coal mines are to be found in the northern part of the range.

The Adobe Range is a newly developed climbing area, with routes on conglomerate rock ranging from YDS 5.6 to 5.10.
