The Nevada desert is very dry with little settlement, low scrub and bare earth. Reno is on the western edge of the desert before the train enters the Truckee River Valley - a conduit to California across a snowy pass c. 1900 m. Northern California has many fur trees on steep hillsides. The snow decreased as we moved through hills to the flat plain around Sacramento. The whole area was lush and very green. Oranges and pip fruit on the plains and what looked like rice near Sacramento.
