Landform

Nevada’s secret Alps. Glacial canyons, a granite-and-gneiss range, and a summit most people never guess is there.

Field note

Lamoille Canyon is the road. Glaciers sat here. The Rubies hold more than twenty peaks over 10,000 feet. From the interstate Nevada looks empty. From the canyon it does not.
