INTO THE NORTH

Scott Mortimore took this photo near Nevada’s remote northwestern corner. “In Nevada’s outback, jagged peaks give way to mesas and occasional springs: landscapes favored by pronghorns and sage grouse. This late September photo captures a hunter and English Setter covering the grassy tabletops in search of sage grouse.”

Jesse Smith snapped this shot outside Las Vegas. “I love Mount Charleston and have spent years hiking there, so it’s always nice to find new vantage points that make it seem like a new experience. This picture was taken near Fletcher campground in Kyle Canyon.”

WINTER BEACH

Martin Gollery captured this image at Lake Tahoe. “It was a quiet, still day in January. The storm had left a blanket of snow on all the rocks, leaving them looking fresh and new. At the water's edge, I found my composition of the Thunderbird Lodge framed between frosted boulders.”
