The Toiyabe part of the now combined Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest is within the Intermountain Region of the National Forest System (NFS). It is the largest National Forest within the NFS, outside of Alaska, having a net acreage of approximately 3,855,960 acres. The Forest is located both in Nevada (3,212,545 acres) and California (643,415 acres), headquartered in Sparks, Nevada. It often comes as a surprise when sagebrush-dominated rangelands give way to alpine meadows and sparkling streams. Topography is highly variable in the Toiyabe. In various portions of the Forest one can stand upon cool, rugged, pine-covered or subalpine slopes at 10,000 feet and above and look down upon rolling arid foothills covered with pinyon pine, juniper and sagebrush, or Joshua trees, creosote brush and blackbrush. The Toiyabe has 8 designated wilderness areas which capture your imagination with solitude, rugged peaks and endless acres of forest land.

• Hike to cool, rugged, pine-covered or subalpine slopes at 10,000 feet.
• Explore the desert ecosystems with Joshua trees, creosote brush and blackbrush.
