Quinn Canyon Wilderness, Protected wilderness area in Quinn Canyon Range, Nevada.
The Quinn Canyon Wilderness extends across 26,256 acres of mountainous terrain, featuring narrow canyons, ridgelines, and year-round streams flowing through V-shaped drainages.
The United States Congress designated this wilderness area in 1989 through the Nevada Wilderness Protection Act to preserve its natural characteristics and ecological value.
The region contains numerous hiking trails leading to elevated viewpoints, where visitors can observe diverse wildlife including mule deer and bighorn sheep in their natural habitat.
Access to Quinn Canyon Wilderness requires careful navigation through remote terrain, with elevations ranging from 6,719 feet at Cherry Creek trailhead to 10,189 feet.
Small stands of bristlecone pine trees grow among pinyon pine and juniper forests, while white fir, aspen, and mahogany thrive at higher elevations.
