Quality
of Life
Climate
At
an elevation of 4255 feet, Hawthorne's high desert
location ensures mild local weather since the surrounding
mountain ranges protect it from the effects of Pacific
storms. To the west is the Wassuk Range, capped by
beautiful 11,239-ft. Mt. Grant. To the northwest the
Gillis Range peaks span from 5,000 to 7,000 ft. These
mountain ranges, as well as the nearby Garfield Hills
and the Sierra Nevadas, are "protectors" of
Hawthorne's weather. Temperatures are relatively mild
in the winter and warm during the summer. The sun shines
an average of 360 days each year.
