The United States Congress designated the Mt. Rose Wilderness in 1989 and it now has a total of 28,121 acres. The entire wilderness is in Nevada.

Nestled between Lake Tahoe and Reno, Nevada, Mount Rose encompasses most of the high country of the Carson Range. The Hunter Lake jeep road splits the area into two distinct sections: the 5,000-acre northern section and the 23,000-acre southern section, which contains 10,776-foot Mount Rose and most of the major canyons and ridges. Due to its proximity to urban centers (the area almost shares a border with Reno), Mount Rose is easily the state's most heavily used Wilderness. But portions of the interior hide small meadows and smaller lakes seldom seen by humans.
