Waterfall Hikes in Nevada (NV)
to explore
Nevada's waterfalls form where Great Basin ranges and high-elevation systems such as the Spring and Ruby Mountains drop into arid basins, creating alpine cascades in glacial cirques, steep canyon runs and seasonal desert falls fed by snowmelt and springs. Hikes tend to be moderate—often remote backcountry routes and canyon scrambles with one easy and one very difficult option—and Nevada is distinctive for its abrupt desert-to-mountain transitions that concentrate waterfalls in isolated, ephemeral canyons.
