Description

Original Fine Art Photography by Donna Kennedy-HDR
Photographed in Washoe Valley, Nevada

The Washoe Valley is a geographical region in the United States covering 66 square miles in southern Washoe County in the state of Nevada. Located between Reno and Carson City, it is named for the Washoe people, Native Americans who lived there before the arrival of Europeans. Slide Mountain and Mount Rose overlook the valley from the west.
New Washoe City and Washoe Lake are located in the valley. The Washoe Valley, along with much of the region in the lee of the Sierra Nevada mountains, is known for its occasionally strong winds. These sometimes require the closing of U.S. 395, the principal north-south highway, to high profile vehicles. One of these, known as the Washoe Zephyr, occurs during the summer, sometimes daily. Describing the Washoe Zephyr as it occurred while he was in Carson City, Mark Twain wrote:
"A Washoe wind is by no means a trifling matter. It blows flimsy houses down, lifts shingle roofs occasionally, rolls up tin ones like sheet music, now and then blows a stage-coach over and spills the passengers; and tradition says the reason there are so many bald people there is, that the wind blows the hair off their heads while they are looking skyward after their hats."
