The Park Range WSA (NV-040-154) is located in Nye County approximately 50 miles southeast of Eureka and 110 miles southwest of Ely. The entire WSA is comprised of public land with no private inholdings. Approximately 1 mile of the southern boundary is formed by private land containing the historic Pritchard's Station, an old stagecoach stop.
The remote and fairly unknown Park Range is in a remarkably natural condition. Numerous pristine spring-fed meadows scattered throughout the range seem to
hang in basins surrounded by volcanic towers. Inaccessible to
livestock and vehicles yet easily climbed by a hiker, these ungrazed meadows are
unique in Nevada and offer the naturalist
a remarkable living laboratory
in diverse ecosystems and natural habitats. The Park Range supports a dense
forest of pinyon pine, juniper, and mountain mahogany and both the vegetation
and the rugged topography provide excellent screening for users.Unlimited exploration opportunities and nearly complete escape from signs of man are the hallmark of the Park Range WSA. This remarkable set of circumstances
has resulted in an area where the opportunities to distance
oneself from the evidence of man's work and be surrounded instead by the forces
of nature are without rival.
