Goshute Canyon Wilderness

Goshute Canyon Wilderness is a 42,544-acre protected area in the Cherry Creek Range of eastern Nevada, in northern White Pine County north of McGill. Established by the White Pine County Conservation, Recreation and Development Act of 2006 and managed by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, it includes varied plant communities shaped by elevation, from pinyon-juniper woodlands to bristlecone and limber pine, with aspen and cottonwood in moist canyon bottoms. Its notable features include Goshute Cave, a limestone cave network known among cavers, and wildlife such as Bonneville cutthroat trout, mule deer, mountain lion, bobcat, many birds, and marmots. Recreation focuses on camping, hiking, hunting, fishing, and caving in a backcountry setting.
