Goshute Canyon Wilderness Area

Goshute Canyon Wilderness Area is a 42,618-acre federally designated Wilderness in Nevada managed by the Bureau of Land Management. The area offers primitive backcountry experience in a landscape carved by canyon systems, drawing visitors seeking solitude and untracked terrain away from developed infrastructure.

Hiking and backpacking are the primary activities here. The wilderness is closed to motorized travel, mechanized equipment, and mountain bikes—it is strictly non-motorized backcountry. Access requires foot travel only, and visitors should expect a true wilderness experience with minimal trail infrastructure and human presence.

Visitors must follow Leave No Trace principles and federal Wilderness regulations. Plan for self-sufficiency: carry water, navigation tools, and supplies. The remote location and primitive conditions mean there are no services, roads, or developed amenities within or near the area. Check with the BLM before visiting for current access details and any seasonal restrictions.
