Jarbidge Wilderness
Adventures

Explore Nevada's best kept secret.

A trip you'll be talking about for the rest of your life

 Take some time away from it all, and let our horses and guides transport you into the heart and history of the Jarbidge Wilderness.  As Nevada's first designated wilderness area, the Jarbidge Wilderness encompasses some of Nevada's most stunning and varied topography along with endless high desert vistas.  With eight peaks towering over 10,000 feet, some consider the Jarbidge mountains Nevada's own alps.  The best way to experience this remote location is to reach it as the first visitors did, on horseback.  Experience our camps your way - hike the peaks, go fishing, practice yoga, or just relax without the distractions of modern life.  We're here to make your dream trip come true.

“I've been to Hawaii, Yellowstone; Jarbidge Nevada is the most beautiful of them all. It would not have been the same experience if it were not for the professionalism and experience of Lowell Prunty and his crew, horses included.”

“We are all still raving about the fabulous time we had in the Jarbidge Wilderness with you. Thank you for making it possible for us. It truly ranks among our best, most memorable trips we have taken. You are obviously masters at what you do and although I know it's a lot of hard work, you make it look easy and fun. The food was great, the scenery spectacular and your company delightful. Perhaps the nicest thing was when we left feeling that we had made new friends.”
