The Humboldt-Toiyabe Wilderness Areas are as diverse as the Forest itself. The Forest spreads from the eastern Sierra Nevada’s in California to the borders of Idaho, and Utah. The Forest manages wilderness near the urban areas of Reno and Las Vegas, as well as wilderness hundreds of miles from anywhere.
