Location of the Toano Mountains within Nevada

The Toano Range is a group of mountains located in the eastern part of Elko County, in the northeastern section of the state of Nevada in the Great Basin region of the western United States. The highest point in the range reaches 7,913 feet (2,412 m).[1]

Interstate 80 and Union Pacific Railroad's Central Corridor (former Feather River Route) cross the Toano range via Silver Zone Pass. On the eastern approach to the pass the railroad makes a near 360 degree hairpin bend called the Arnold Loop.
