East Humboldt Wilderness, Protected wilderness area in Elko County, Nevada.
The East Humboldt Wilderness spans 36,900 acres across the East Humboldt Range, featuring peaks exceeding 11,000 feet and diverse mountain ecosystems supporting numerous wildlife species.
The area received federal protection status through the Nevada Wilderness Protection Act of 1989, preserving its natural landscapes for future generations to experience.
The Western Shoshone and Northern Paiute peoples maintained strong connections to this land before European settlers arrived in the region during the 1820s.
Visitors can access 90 miles of hiking trails, including the Winchell Lake Trail and Secret Starr Trail, while following specific regulations set by the Forest Service.
The granite cliffs and U-shaped canyons of the wilderness resulted from tectonic extension and glaciation processes that shaped the Great Basin Ranges.
