There is little question why White Pine County chose "Experience The Unexpected" as the slogan for its Visitor's Bureau.

The basin and range topography produces mountain ranges which rise from 8,000 to 13,000 feet above the valley floor at 6,000 feet. The terrain takes you from desert sand and sagebrush through bands of pinion and juniper forests to sub-alpine Bristlecone Pine, and mountain peaks well above the sea level.

Winter's snow covered mountains give way to a blanket of crimson, yellow, and purple wild flowers in the spring, brilliant sunsets and clear , starry skies on summer nights, and hillsides of golden quaking aspens in the fall.
