Mount Moriah Wilderness

Mount Moriah Wilderness is an 89,790-acre protected area in eastern Nevada covering the northern Snake Range, named for Mount Moriah, whose summit rises above Snake Valley and Spring Valley. Designated in 1989 and jointly managed by the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, it includes limestone terrain, shallow caves, and a high plateau called the Table near the summit. Archaeological sites preserve evidence of Native American use, including cave sites, pictographs, and lithic scatters. Its elevations support diverse plant and animal life, perennial trout streams, and habitat for mule deer and Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep.
