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 Template:Convert, and has an area of about Template:Convert. Its highest point is an unnamed summit of Template:Convert and the named peaks include Sherman Peak (Template:Convert), Twin Peaks (East and West, Template:Convert and Template:Convert respectively) and The Buttes (Template:Convert).

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.
