Becky Peak Wilderness

Becky Peak Wilderness is a protected wilderness area in eastern Nevada, north of McGill at the northern end of the Schell Creek Range. Managed by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, it covers 18,119 acres and was established in 2006 by the White Pine County Conservation, Recreation and Development Act. The landscape rises from lower desert country to the uplands around Becky Peak, with vegetation shifting from desert brush and grass to scattered pinyon pine and juniper on higher slopes. Its importance lies in preserving a relatively undeveloped representative stretch of Great Basin terrain in its natural condition.
