Red Mountain Wilderness

Red Mountain Wilderness is a 20,490-acre protected area in eastern Nevada's White Pine Range within Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, spanning parts of White Pine and Nye counties. Established by the White Pine County Conservation, Recreation and Development Act of 2006, it adjoins Currant Mountain Wilderness and forms part of a larger group of protected lands created in the range at that time. The wilderness is distinguished by volcanic red-orange hills and mountains that give it its name, along with rugged slopes covered in pinyon, limber, and bristlecone pine. It remains under U.S. Forest Service administration.
