The Carson Range is located along the border between California and Nevada. It runs to the east, southeast, and northeast of Lake Tahoe. It is about 50 miles north-south, but only about 5 to 10 miles east-west. Nearly 3/4 of the range is in Nevada, with the rest in California mostly the southern and northwestern part of the range.
