Description: The southern section of the Las Vegas Range, and the Aliante Golf Club in the Las Vegas Valley — in Clark County, southern Nevada. The highest point of the range is Gass Peak at 6,943 feet (2,116 m) (left-center in photo). The range has a long north-south ridgeline-(lower in elevation), with the southern end forming a en:massif, probably caused by the same transform (strike/slip) fault that created Red Rock Park west of Las Vegas, and causing the uplift of Mount Charleston, (with its seabed fossils).
