Jarbidge Nevada Hike!

Join Western Watersheds Project Biodiversity Director Katie Fite on a
Rugged overnight backpack trip along a lush, ungrazed river in the
Jarbidge Wilderness in Northern Nevada, June 25th through the 27th.

Katie is a biologist with expertise in native flora and fauna and has
spent years exploring western public lands.

Much of the Jarbidge Wilderness, unlike many wilderness lands where
status-quo grazing is allowed, has been livestock-free for many years.
Mountain mahogany trees, cottonwoods and ungrazed blue-bunch
wheatgrass abound in orange rhyolite canyons. The beautiful Jarbidge
Mountains are home to elk, mule deer, sage grouse, three species of
native trout and an array of songbirds and lush wildflowers.

Car-camp the first night and begin hike the following morning. Hikers
are responsible for their own food, water, transportation and
equipment. Group size is limited, and the hiking will be rugged.

Contact Katie Fite at 208-429-1679 or email
for specifics and meeting location.
