About Buffalo Hills
The Buffalo Hills are a remote and rugged mountain range located in central Nevada. This range is characterized by steep, rocky peaks, deep canyons, and sparse high-desert vegetation. The terrain is challenging, with few well-developed trails, making much of the range accessible only to experienced backcountry hikers and climbers. The range is home to a variety of wildlife, including bighorn sheep, mule deer, and raptors.
