High Rock Canyon Wilderness, Protected wilderness area in northwestern Nevada, United States.
High Rock Canyon Wilderness spans 46,600 acres of volcanic uplands with deep canyons, featuring elevations from 4,900 to 5,800 feet.
The Applegate-Lassen Emigrant Trail along the eastern boundary served as a passage for settlers traveling through Nevada during the 19th century.
Northern Paiute Tribe members inhabited this land for generations, leaving archaeological evidence of their presence throughout the canyon system.
Visitors require high-clearance vehicles to access the area, which remains closed from January 31 to May 15 to protect nesting raptors.
The wilderness contains meadow complexes and riparian vegetation that support California bighorn sheep, pronghorn antelope, and numerous raptor species.
