The Toiyabe Crest Trail runs 72 miles along the ridges of the Toiyabe Range at elevations generally above 8,000 feet. Because the trail zone traverses some of the highest elevations in the region, it provides considerable scenic potential. High vantage points offer unobstructed views of the surrounding mountains as well as the valleys below. Additionally, historic and recent mining operations may be viewed.
