Palisade Canyon, Canyon along Humboldt River in Eureka County, United States
The steep rock walls of Palisade Canyon extend for miles alongside the Humboldt River, forming a natural corridor through northeastern Nevada.
The canyon received its name in the 1860s due to its resemblance to the Hudson River Palisades during the construction of the First Transcontinental Railroad.
The canyon walls house both the Feather River Route and First Transcontinental Railroad tracks on opposite sides, marking its role in transportation development.
Access to Palisade Canyon is available through State Route 278, approximately 7.5 miles south-southwest of Carlin, Nevada.
Scientific measurements indicate that Palisade Canyon marks the exact point where the Humboldt River flow starts decreasing before eventual evaporation at Humboldt Sink.
