South Egan Range Wilderness

South Egan Range Wilderness is a protected area in eastern Nevada in the Egan Range near Lund, spanning 67,214 acres across Lincoln, White Pine, and Nye counties under U.S. Bureau of Land Management oversight. Established in 2006, it preserves a rugged mountain spine along much of the White River Valley, with bristlecone pines, pinyon and juniper hills, deep riparian canyons, and the broad bowl of Long Valley in its southern section. Elevations range from 5,480 feet to 9,450 feet at Sawmill Mountain, and the area includes Angel Cave, a mostly unexplored limestone pit cave. It is also important wildlife habitat for raptors, mule deer, elk, and upland game birds.
