 Overlooking
the Reno/Sparks area, Mt. Rose Wilderness provides many opportunities for
the adventurous. Named for an early pioneer of the Reno area, Mt. Rose
Wilderness was designated by the Nevada Wilderness Bill of 1989. Reaching
10,776 feet, Mt. Rose dominates the area.
Approximately 20 miles of designated trails wind through the Mt. Rose
Wilderness. The major access points are the Mt. Rose trail head,
Jones/Whites Creek loop trail, Thomas Creek trail and Hunter Creek
trail.
