Mount Moriah Wilderness, Protected wilderness area in White Pine County, Nevada.
Mount Moriah Wilderness spans 89,790 acres of diverse terrain, featuring limestone formations, shallow caves, and elevations reaching up to 12,050 feet above sea level.
The United States Congress designated this area as protected wilderness in 1989, placing it under joint management of the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management.
Archaeological sites within the wilderness contain Native American caves, pictographs, and stone artifacts that document early human presence in this region.
Multiple streams, including Hampton Creek, Hendry's Creek, and Smith Creek, provide water sources and sustain populations of rainbow trout and Bonneville cutthroat trout.
The Table, an elevated plateau extending north and west of Mount Moriah, maintains a constant elevation of 11,000 feet across its expansive surface.
