About the Quinn Canyon Wilderness Extreme isolation defines Quinn Canyon. From the main ridgeline of the area, cresting at more than 10,000 feet, many smaller ridges and narrow canyons extend out east and west. Several springs usually provide water. From pi on pine and juniper, the vegetation gives way to sagebrush with scattered white fir, aspen, and mahogany higher up. Small stands of bristlecone pine can be found here, too.
Mule deer move into the higher elevations in summer.
About 20.8 miles of trails in poor to very poor condition access the area and receive light or no use.
