Becky Peak Wilderness

Becky Peak Wilderness is a protected area in northeastern Nevada covering 18,119 acres with steep mountain slopes. Dense pinyon pine and juniper forests cover the terrain and reach elevations around 9,859 feet (3,000 meters).

Becky Peak Wilderness was established as a protected natural area through federal legislation in 2006. This legal designation helped ensure the landscape would remain intact for future generations.

The area provides habitat for pronghorn antelope, mule deer, wild horses, and many bird species living undisturbed in this landscape. Visitors can observe these animals in their natural setting and see how the wilderness supports them.

The Bureau of Land Management Ely District office provides maps and information for visitors planning to explore the area. It is helpful to obtain local guidance before setting out to understand terrain conditions and safety considerations.

In spring the landscape fills with wildflowers including yarrow, prickly poppy, larkspur, and sego lilies that bloom briefly. These colorful displays transform the slopes for several weeks during the growing season.
