It lies 44.2 miles west-north-west of Reno, NV (from Reno, NV: bearing 293°T), and is situated 6.2 miles west-south-west of Portola. Rolling hills, cloaked in the deep green of pine and fir, rise and fall with a quiet dignity, their slopes often softened by a generous blanket of snow in winter, transforming the terrain into a hushed, white expanse.
