Mount Grafton Wilderness Area

Mount Grafton Wilderness Area spans nearly 79,000 acres of federally protected backcountry in Nevada, managed by the Bureau of Land Management as a primitive, non-motorized landscape. The wilderness offers hiking and backpacking opportunities across remote terrain where solitude and self-reliance are central to the experience.

Visiting means embracing true wilderness conditions: no roads, motorized vehicles, or mechanized travel of any kind are permitted. This is Leave No Trace country—pack out everything you pack in, camp responsibly, and travel lightly on the land. Access requires foot traffic only, and you'll encounter minimal development or maintained infrastructure. The area's remote character demands solid backcountry skills, proper preparation, and respect for the landscape's unforgiving nature.
