This very remote mountain range is located in northern Nevada, just south of Denio and the Oregon border. This mountain range is mostly sage brush and grasses but does have one of the highest populations of sage grouse in the U.S. Other species you'll see are Sage Thrasher, Gray Flycatcher, Lesser Yellowlegs, Greater White-fronted Goose, and the Swainson’s Hawk.
Plenty of OHV and back country roads wind through the range and take you to several of the peaks, with the most prominant being Engler Peak . Hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding are also common activities.
The Bilk Creek Reservoir is a popular place for fishing. Although it is on private property, NDOW does manage it and fishing and primitive camping is allowed.
While you're in the area, be sure to put your mining cap on and head over to Royal Peacock Opal mine and mine for opals!
These roads are not maintained. Conditions will vary and roads may be washed out after severe weather events. A high clearance, 4WD OHV is recommended.

There are a few gates located throughout the trail system. Always leave them how you found them.
