High Rock Canyon Road Closure Scheduled to Protect Wildlife and Preserve Trails
WINNEMUCCA, Nev. – The Bureau of Land Management has announced a vehicle use closure on a portion of High Rock Canyon Road, a key area within the Black Rock Desert-High Rock Canyon Emigrant Trails National Conservation Area.
The section affected by this closure extends from the canyon’s southern entrance to approximately five miles below Stevens Camp. This closure is set to take effect after the conclusion of the Chukar hunting season, specifically from Monday, February 3, through Friday, May 9, 2025.
