Clover Valley
HCO winds through a juniper grove over Spruce Mountain Ridge, down into Clover Valley, top left. The snow capped East Humboldt Range rises across the valley. Emigrants may have seen early snow there in September. They might have been disheartened by another mountain wall, but they knew water would be available. Our tents peek out over waist high sage, top right. The Ruby Mountains appear on the left in the photo. The East Humboldt Range runs north, left. The trail skirts the south end of this range before coming to the Ruby Mountains.
