The United States Congress designated the East Humboldts Wilderness in 1989 and it now has a total of 37,797 acres. The entire wilderness is in Nevada.

Anchored in the center by 11,127-foot Hole in the Mountain Peak, northeastern Nevada's East Humboldt Range and this Wilderness are generally sparse in vegetation: grasses and sage lower down, mountain mahogany and aspen in dense stands higher up. In the high country, including 11,020-foot Humboldt Peak in the southern portion, you'll find a very remote area with limited access, appealing to large mammals such as mountain lions, bobcats, deer, and mountain goats. Several trails enter from the west side, usually following small drainages. Six lakes accommodate cutthroat and brook trout, an attraction to anglers.
