About Hungry Range

The Hungry Range is a rugged and remote mountain range located in northwestern Nevada, near the borders of California and Oregon. Rising from the high desert landscape, the range features steep, rocky ridges and numerous isolated peaks, many of which reach elevations over 9,000 feet. The terrain is characterized by a mix of bare, windswept slopes, alpine meadows, and sparse vegetation, creating a stark and dramatic landscape. Despite its remote location, the Hungry Range offers outstanding opportunities for outdoor recreation, particularly for hikers and backpackers seeking a true wilderness experience.
