The Black Rock Desert–High Rock Canyon Emigrant Trails National Conservation Area is the federal land in northwestern Nevada, under the Bureau of Land Management-BLM management and protection, and the ten Wilderness Areas within it.

[1] The long name has led people to often shorten it to the Black Rock–High Rock NCA, when not needing the official name.

Many activities, such as with a large group of people, require a BLM permit.

Motorized vehicle travel is not permitted in the Wilderness Areas, to protect the animals and plant communities within them.

[1] The BLM office has online and printed maps and information, with the boundaries and features of the Black Rock–High Rock NCA and of the locations of the ten designated National Wilderness Preservation Areas located within the NCA.
