South Egan Range Wilderness, Protected wilderness area in Lincoln County, Nevada.
The South Egan Range Wilderness extends across 67,214 acres of mountain terrain, featuring limestone cliffs and deep canyons covered in pinyon and juniper forests.
The White Pine County Conservation, Recreation and Development Act of 2006 established this wilderness area under the management of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management.
Native wildlife species, including mule deer, elk, and prairie falcons, inhabit this natural space, supporting the ecological balance of the Great Basin region.
Three primary routes lead to the central ridgeline, with access from Ely requiring a drive south on Federal Highway 6 to State Highway 318.
Angel Cave, a limestone pit cave located at 9,000 feet elevation within the wilderness boundaries, remains largely unexplored to this day.
