Walker River begins to freeze in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, CA.


Snowmelt from the Sierra Nevada of California feeds into Walker River, and is an important source of water for irrigation in its course through Nevada. The river flows through the Sierra Nevada, an almost continuous chain of mountain ranges that forms the western "backbone" of the Americas and known for its spectacular natural scenery.
