This Land is Your Land

This guide is provided as an 

introduction to the the camping 

and picnicking opportunities in the 

National Forests of the Intermountain Region. More detailed information can be obtained from each 

National Forest offi ce listed. Two 

key documents that you may wish to 

request are the “National Forest Visitor Map” and the “Travel Map” for 

the Forest you are interested in.

The Intermountain Region 

of the Forest Service encompasses 

National Forests in Utah, Nevada, 

southern Idaho, western Wyoming, 

and parts of Colorado and California. This Region boasts rugged 

mountains, fertile valleys, rivers, deserts, varied wildlife, campgrounds, 

wildernesses, adventure, solitude, 

and scenery enough to saturate your 

aesthetic cravings.

A National Forest is more than 

trees and camping, hiking, fi shing, 

and hunting. You can enjoy the 

magnifi cence of the mountains; the 

serenity of the wilderness; the thrill 

of skiing and kayaking; the miracles 

of spring fl owers, baby animals, and 

majestic big game; the sound of 

birds; a camping trip; and the fun of 

a summer picnic in your National 

Forest–the Land of Many Uses.

So, leave your stress behind 

and spend time with nature. In a 

few hours from any place in the 

Intermountain Region you can pull 

into a National Forest campground. 

Pitch your tent and spend a great 

get-away weekend fi shing for the 

big ones or dabbling a hook in the 

stream, swimming, canoeing, and 

cooking over a campfi re.

You want to go farther from 

civilization? Space for backpacking 

is almost limitless. Please consult 

Forest Service maps and handouts 

for information on where to go and 

how to get there.

Feeling adverturesome? White 

water river running, big game hunting, winter camp outs and sports, 

mountain climbing, and horseback 

riding are challenges to be explored 

in your multiple-use National 

Forests.

For those who prefer a less 

robust trip, how about a scenic 

drive, photography excursion, bird 

watching, or a picnic? All these 

experiences–and more–await you.

Woodcutting, a popular family 

outing in the Intermountain Region, 

starts early in the summer and continues through the fall. Contact your 

local Ranger District for information and a woodcutting permit.

These suggestions only scratch 

the surface. When you play in a 

National Forest, let your imagination lead you to exciting (and safe) 

adventures in the out-of-doors.

Roads take you and bring you 

back from far-fl ung corners of your 

National Forests. Every road serves 

many users. Some roads invite you 

to enter the Forest while others, 

closed after timber hauling, mineral 

extraction, or other uses, ask you 

not to intrude. Often times these 

roads are closed to provide privacy 

and protection for animals. In the 

springtime, wild mothers prefer 

to give birth to their young away 

from the prying eyes of humans. 

Sometimes, the fl owers and grasses 

need to grow untrampled by visitors. 

Closed roads invite you to explore 

on foot rather than in your vehicle. 

As stewards of the National 

Forests, heed the “closed-road” 

signs, but follow and enjoy the 

open roads as they beckon you to 

outdoor adventures. Remember, 

Tread Lightly, protect the earth, and 

have fun!

Each generation becomes the 

custodian rather than the absolute 

owner of National Forest resources, 

and each generation has the obligation to pass this inheritance on 

intact. You and the Forest Service are 

partners in seeing that the National 

Forests fulfi ll and magnify the intent 

of their creation. Your partnership 

decrees the right to enjoy, but not 

destroy, any facet of the National 

Forest.

Forest Supervisors, District 

Rangers, their staffs, and volunteers, live and work in the National 

Forests. They will answer your questions, serve your needs when you 

visit a National Forest, and dedicate 

themselves to protecting these 

lands–your lands. So, as part owner 

in this public resource, you are challenged to protect and use wisely all 

facets of your National Forests.

Wildfi res:

We Can’t Stop Them Without Your Help

Carelessness – Wildland “Enemy #1.” Each year, the number of wildfi res 

increase. Why? Because forest users–well meaning people–haven’t been careful when fi re danger is high. You can be a part of the fi re prevention team by 

knowing a few facts, and following a few simple rules:

● Don’t throw burning objects–like cigarettes or matches–from any 

vehicle.

● Parking over dry grass may cause a fi re. Hot exhaust pipes, catalytic 

converters, and muffl ers are as dangerous as a match.

● When you camp or walk through wildland areas, follow fi re safety 

rules. Above all, never leave any fi re until it is completely out.

● Learn the facts about fi res: how they start, what conditions favor 

them. 

● Don’t start any fi re when the fi re danger is high.

On a hot, dry day, two seconds of carelessness could destroy trees, brush, 

animals, homes, and lives. IT COULD HAPPEN TO YOU . . . STOP AND 

THINK!

I Pledge to TREAD LIGHTLY on 

public and private lands by:

T raveling only where motorized 

vehicles are permitted and never 

blazing my own trail. R especting the rights of hikers, 

skiers, campers, and others to 

enjoy their activities undisturbed. E ducating myself by obtaining 

travel maps and regulations from 

public agencies, complying with 

signs and barriers, and asking 

owners’ permission to cross 

private property. A voiding streams, lakeshores, 

meadows, muddy roads and 

trails, steep hillsides, wildlife, and 

livestock. D riving responsibly to protect 

the environment and preserve 

opportunities to enjoy my vehicle 

on wild lands.

Thanks,

TREAD LIGHTLY!

The Forest Service is looking 

for volunteers and has opportunities for almost everyone – retirees, 

professionals, housewives, students, 

and young people, as well as service 

clubs and organizations. If you like 

people and care about our country’s 

natural resources, the Forest Service 

needs your time and talents.

Some volunteers work fulltime for several months, while 

others donate a few hours a day each 

week, or contribute a “one time” 

service. Students may volunteer to 

earn college credits through a college-approved Intern program.

The Forest Service and the 

volunteer negotiate an agreement 

stating what responsibilities and 

benefi ts have been agreed upon. All 

volunteers are covered by the Federal 

Tort Claims Act and the Federal 

Worker’s Compensation Act.

Discover the

HumboldtToiyabe

National Forest

The Humboldt-Toiyabe 

National Forest in Nevada and 

eastern California is part of the 

Intermountain Region. The Forest’s 

combined acreage exceeds 6,000,000 

acres of National Forest System 

lands. Landscapes vary from sagebrush-covered lowlands to rugged 

mountain peaks accented with 

plentiful streams, rivers, and lakes.

The Forest

This 6.3 million-acre National 

Forest is composed of ten district 

offi ces distributed across Nevada 

and eastern California. The Forest 

Supervisor’s offi ce is in Sparks.

The Forest consists of four 

distinct divisions, each with different resource and recreational 

opportunities. The four divisions 

are: Sierra (Carson and Bridgeport 

Ranger Districts), Central (Austin, 

Ely, and Tonopah Ranger Districts), 

Northeast (Santa Rosa, Ruby 

Mountains/Jarbidge, and Mountain 

City Ranger Districts), and Mt. 

Charleston (Spring Mountains 

National Recreation Area).

NORTHEAST AREA

The Northeast Nevada area 

offers scenic vistas that range 

from sagebrush fl atland to high, 

rugged and rocky peaks. It contains 

four Wildernesses, including the 

113,000-acre Jarbidge Wilderness, 

with its rugged, glaciated and mountainous terrain. The Santa RosaParadise Peak Wilderness, north 

of Winnemucca, encompasses the 

south, high-ridge of the Santa Rosa 

Mountains, with the prominent 

Santa Rosa Peak reaching over 9,700 

feet. This Wilderness is without 

lakes, alpine meadows or large 

coniferous forests, but offers rugged 

granite rock formations, abundant 

spring wildfl owers, and wide, sweeping basins. The Ruby Mountains 

Wilderness, east of Elko, is home 

to more than two dozen alpine 

lakes and crags that mellow into a 

narrow, grassy ridge. The spectacular 

Lamoille Canyon Scenic Byway is 

located in the Ruby Mountains.

CENTRAL AREA

The Central Nevada area 

includes approximately 2.6 million 

acres in Lyon and Mineral Counties, 

as well as lands farther east in Nye, 

Lander, White Pine, and Eureka 

Counties. Central Nevada is typical 

of the basin/range landform prominent in Nevada. Vegetation consists 

of pinyon/juniper, various sagebrush 

types, aspen (at higher elevations), 

and subalpine and alpine plant 

communities consisting of mountain 

mahogany and limber pine. The area 

is characterized by broad, expansive 

landscapes with lightly dispersed 

recreation use. The Alta Toquima, 

Arc Dome, Table Mountain, Grant 

Range, Currant Mountain, Mount 

Moriah, and Quinn Canyon Wildernesses are included in this area.

SIERRA AREA

The approximately 1,000,000-

acre Sierra area lies west of US 395 

along the California-Nevada border. 

The popular Hoover Wilderness, 

along with the Carson-Iceberg, 

Mokelumne, and Mt. Rose Wilderness Areas, are located in this division. The Sierra supports a variety of 

commercial tree species, including 

Jeffery pine, white fi r, California 

red fi r, western white pine, and 

lodgepole pine. Extensive stands of 

pinyon/juniper occur at the lower 

elevations. The Sierras produce most 

of the water for western Nevada and 

include the sources of the Carson 

and Walker River systems. Lakes are 

plentiful, scenic quality is outstanding, and recreational use of the area 

is extremely high during summer 

months.

SOUTHERN AREA

Mount Charleston consists 

of approximately 316,000 acres 

in the Spring Mountains National 

Recreation Area (NRA) east of 

Las Vegas. The NRA is a thrust or 

fold of limestone formations rising 

sharply from the desert fl oor and 

includes a low desert to subalpine 

environment. Ponderosa pine, 

white fi r, bristlecone pine, limber 

pine, oak, pinyon/juniper, aspen, 

and mahogany are present. Kyle 

and Lee Canyons receive moderate 

use during the week and extremely 

heavy use on hot summer weekends, 

where temperatures may be 25 

degrees cooler than on the valley 

fl oor. The scenery is outstanding, 

and the area provides a rare forested 

environment in southern Nevada.

The Wildernesses located high 

in the Sierras offer unique opportunities to enjoy nature’s solitude 

amid some of the nation’s most 

spectacular landscapes. The Hoover 

and Carson Iceberg Wildernesses 

also contain the headwaters of three 

rivers: the East Carson, and the East 

and West Walker Rivers.

The Jarbidge Wilderness offers 

over 100 miles of hiking trails. 

Other wildernesses offer some of 

the most outstanding scenery and 

solitude to be found in Nevada.

Throughout the Forest, 

sparkling streams and pristine lakes 

provide numerous cold-water fi shing 

opportunities. Resident game fi sh 

include rainbow, brook, cutthroat, 

and Dolly Varden trout.

As you adventure, you may 

glimpse some of the mountain goats, 

bighorn sheep, elk and mule deer 

that live in the Forest. Many species 

of small mammals and birds abound 

and provide a good food source for 

predators, such as the coyote and 

golden eagle. Hawks, ravens, bald 

eagles, black-tailed jackrabbits, 

badgers and chipmunks, sage grouse, 

blue grouse, and chukar partridge 

can also be spotted during your 

adventure. Visit the Ely Elk Viewing 

Area, six miles south of Ely, during 

the fall or spring to see some of the 

biggest wildlife in Nevada. Facilities 

are available for picnicking and 

viewing these magnifi cent animals.

Other Forest activities and 

attractions include snowmobiling 

and cross-country skiing, canoeing, 

sightseeing, gathering tasty pinyon 

pine nuts, exploring ghost towns, 

gold panning, white-water rafting 

and hunting.

Recreation 

Opportunities

The Humboldt-Toiyabe 

National Forest has over 70 developed camp and picnic sites. Daily 

fees are charged at the more highly 

developed sites. Connections for 

electricity, sewage, and water are 

not provided. Other developed 

recreation opportunities include 

observation sites, trailheads, and 

winter snow-play areas.

For those who desire a more 

challenging experience, over 1,700 

miles of trails are available for 

hiking, backpacking, and horseback riding. Hike the Pacifi c Crest 

National Scenic Trail, the Mosquito 

Creek Trail, the Toiyabe Crest 

and Mount Charleston National 

Recreation Trails, the Tahoe Rim 

Trail, and the Cow Canyon Trail 

– to name a few. Lesser know back 

country areas, like the Santa Rosa 

Mountains, offer recreation experiences similar to those in the more 

heavily visited Ruby Mountains and 

Mount Charleston.

Backpacking stoves are recommended to minimize impact in the 

higher elevations. Warm clothing 

is always necessary since nighttime 

temperatures can drop to 25 degrees 

Fahrenheit at the higher elevations, 

even during the summer. Fluctuations of 50 degrees in temperature 

are not uncommon.

In the Ruby Mountains, the 

Lamoille Canyon Scenic Byway 

is a paved road into the Lamoille 

Canyon Scenic Area. This 12-mile 

drive provides spectacular views 

of rugged mountain peaks and 

glaciated canyons, and ends at the 

trailhead to the 40-mile-long Ruby 

Crest National Recreation Trail.
