The '''Adobe Range''' is a minor [[mountain range]] of [[Nevada]]. Located northwest and north of [[Elko, Nevada]], it runs generally north-south for about {{convert|80|mi|-1}}, and has an area of about {{convert|314|sqmi|0}}. Its highest point is an unnamed summit of {{convert|8134|ft|0}} and the named peaks include Sherman Peak ({{convert|7522|ft|0}}), [[Twin Peaks (Elko County, Nevada)|Twin Peaks]] (East and West, {{convert|7475|ft|0}} and {{convert|7472|ft|0}} respectively) and The Buttes ({{convert|6674|ft|0}}).

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 (geology)|conglomerate rock]] ranging from [[Yosemite Decimal System|YDS]] 5.6 to 5.10.
