Currant Mountain Wilderness, Protected wilderness area in White Pine Range, Nevada.
The Currant Mountain Wilderness extends across 47,357 acres of varied terrain, reaching elevations above 10,000 feet in eastern Nevada's mountain landscape.
The United States Congress designated this area as protected wilderness in 1989, incorporating it into the National Wilderness Preservation System.
Native American tribes utilized these lands for hunting and gathering activities long before European settlement in the Nevada territory.
The wilderness area requires high-clearance vehicles to access trailheads, and visitors should bring sufficient water supplies due to limited natural sources.
Ancient Great Basin Bristlecone Pines grow at higher elevations within the wilderness, surviving in limestone soils under extreme weather conditions.
