Alta Toquima Wilderness, Protected wilderness area in Nye County, Nevada.
The Alta Toquima Wilderness spans 35,860 acres within the Toquima Range, featuring Mount Jefferson's three peaks and diverse vegetation zones from sagebrush to alpine tundra.
The wilderness received federal protection in 1989 under the management of Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, preserving natural resources and geological formations shaped during the Pleistocene epoch.
Native American settlements and pioneer trails throughout the wilderness document the historical human presence in this section of Nevada's high country.
Visitors need high-clearance vehicles to access the dirt roads leading to trailheads, and must bring sufficient supplies as there are no developed facilities in the area.
Pine Creek maintains a population of native trout at high elevation, while Mount Jefferson's summit provides views extending to distant peaks in California and Utah.
