About Bruneau Range

The Bruneau Range is a remote and rugged mountain range located in southwestern Nevada near the Idaho border. Characterized by steep, rocky terrain and deep canyons, the range is largely undeveloped and offers a true wilderness experience. Elevations range from around 5,000 feet in the valleys to over 8,000 feet at the highest peaks. The landscape is dominated by exposed volcanic rock, with scattered juniper and pinyon pine providing sparse vegetation cover. Wildlife includes mule deer, bighorn sheep, and a variety of small mammals and birds.
