Jarbidge Wilderness, Protected mountain wilderness in northeastern Nevada, United States
The Jarbidge Wilderness encompasses 113,000 acres of mountain ranges, deep canyons, and dense forests within the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest.
The establishment of the Jarbidge Wilderness in 1964 marked a milestone as the first designated wilderness area in Nevada, later expanding in 1989.
The name Jarbidge originates from Shoshone language references to supernatural beings, reflecting indigenous beliefs about spirits inhabiting these mountains.
Visitors need to prepare for limited services and variable weather conditions, with temperatures ranging from 30 degrees in winter to 71 degrees in summer.
Ten mountain peaks exceeding 10,000 feet rise within this wilderness, creating habitats for subalpine fir, whitebark pine, and diverse wildlife populations.
