About Buried Hills

The Buried Hills are a small, isolated mountain range located in central Nevada. Characterized by rugged, rocky peaks and ridges, the range rises abruptly from the surrounding high desert landscape. The terrain consists of steep, sometimes technical hiking trails that wind through pinyon-juniper forests and rocky outcrops. The range's remote location and lack of development contribute to its wild, untamed character, offering a true backcountry experience for adventurous outdoor enthusiasts.
