Goshute Canyon Wilderness, Protected wilderness area in Cherry Creek Mountains, Nevada.
The limestone cliffs of Goshute Canyon rise from 6,000 to 10,410 feet, creating diverse habitats for wildlife and plant communities across 42,544 acres.
The White Pine County Conservation, Recreation and Development Act of 2006 established the Goshute Canyon Wilderness on December 20, 2006.
The area holds the name of the Goshute people, a Native American tribe who used these mountains for traditional hunting and gathering practices.
Visitors need to bring water supplies, navigation tools, and camping equipment, as the remote location offers no facilities or marked trails.
A network of underground caves formed by limestone erosion provides shelter for various wildlife species and opportunities for geological exploration.
