What is the longest mountain range in Nevada?
The longest mountain range which is at least in part within the state of Nevada is the Sierra Nevada including the Lake Tahoe area shared with the state of California. However, the longest mountain named range entirely within Nevada, is the Toiyabe Range, based on the official naming by the US Board of Geographic Names. The Toiyabe Range extends about 135 miles from near Tonopah to the Humboldt River. The adjacent ranges to the west are named the Shoshone Range and Shoshone Mountains, and these ranges are geologically linked, but if these Shoshone mountains/range were to be considered one named range then the resulting range would be slightly longer than the Toiyabe Range. Most of Nevada is characterized by basin-and-range geology with horst-graben faulting and ranges extend mostly north and south. There are several mountain ranges in Nevada where one could walk for more than 50 miles in one general direction without crossing a road.
