Grant Range Wilderness

Grant Range Wilderness is a protected area in the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest covering over 93,000 acres. It features mountain peaks, deep valleys, and varied rock formations that shape the landscape.

The area gained official federal protection as wilderness in 1989, initially safeguarding roughly 50,000 acres of natural terrain. Subsequent expansions extended protection to additional surrounding land.

The wilderness area serves as an environmental research site and educational space where visitors learn about self-reliance and natural resource conservation.

Good physical fitness is needed for longer hikes in this high-altitude region. Visitors should locate water sources ahead and plan to carry sufficient water, as availability on-site is uncertain.

The landscape spans multiple elevation zones that create distinct climate variations and different plant communities. Visitors can move between contrasting environments on relatively short hikes.
