Far South Egans Wilderness

Far South Egans Wilderness is a protected mountain wilderness at the southern end of Nevada’s Egan Range, established by the U.S. Congress in 2004 and managed by the Bureau of Land Management. Its rugged terrain rises from about 5,800 feet to 9,823 feet, creating a striking landscape of multi-colored limestone cliffs, dry lower slopes, and higher forests of ponderosa pine and ancient bristlecone pine. This sharp elevation change supports varied wildlife, including mule deer, elk, desert bighorn sheep, mountain lions, golden eagles, and ferruginous hawks, making the area notable for both its dramatic scenery and diverse habitats.
