Jarbidge Canyon, an in-and-out trail accessed from Charleston-Jarbidge Road, is a cherry-stem road carved through the heart of the Jarbidge Wilderness and offers an exhilarating journey into one of Nevada's most remote and untouched landscapes. This rugged trail is a mix of rough dirt and rocky creek beds, winding alongside the headwaters of the Jarbidge River. The trail's wild and untamed character demands a high-clearance vehicle, making it a true adventure for those who dare to explore.

As you navigate Jarbidge Canyon, the air is filled with the scent of pine, and the sound of the river accompanies your journey. Along the way, you'll find the Pine Creek and Bluster Campgrounds, offering a rare opportunity to camp amidst the wilderness. The trail eventually leads to the trailhead for the Jarbidge River Trail and Jarbidge Lake, where the road ends and the adventure continues on foot. Jarbidge Canyon is a gateway to the wild, where the road is as rugged as the landscape it traverses, leading you deeper into the beauty and solitude of the wilderness.
