Description

Looking west from the Geiger Lookout, along the new Geiger Grade between Virginia City and Reno. The valley below is labeled Washoe Valley, but it's not. It's an area along Hwy 395 between Reno and Carson marked on maps as Steamboat Valley. It's also known as the Andrew Lane neighborhood. To the right is Steamboat Springs. In the distance Slide Mountain and Mount Rose are labeled. The Old Geiger Grade is labeled too. This is now known as Toll Road and it is lined with houses.
