Where the Waterfalls Are
Pahrump sits in or near the Great Basin Ranges area of Nevada. Across the rest of the state, waterfalls are isolated and often obscure. Jumbo Falls in Washoe County lies in far western Nevada, where storms coming over the Sierra Nevada deliver more precipitation than the interior receives. Lander and Nye counties include falls in remote central Nevada ranges, while Lincoln County has a site named Water and Ice Falls. Twenty Six Foot Drop in Churchill County is highly rated but sees few visitors. Many of these require long drives on dirt roads, and their flow varies greatly from year to year depending on snowpack.
