| Black Rock Desert is comprised of 1.2 million acres of national conservation area and national wilderness area, making it the largest collection of publicly managed land in the continental United States. Aside from the fact that the area has some of the most rugged canyons, pristine hot springs, and expansive dry lake beds (or “Playa”) features in all of the Silver State, this area is also federally protected to preserve 180 miles of historic emigrant trails used by early pioneers making their way West. | |
