High Rock Trekkers History

The High Rock Trekkers (HRT) is a nonprofit organization comprised of 4-wheelers from several states. Founded in 1986, our goal is to promote family 4-wheeling and to protect the country’s natural resources and the preservation of early emigrant trails.

The High Rock Trekkers members have contributed thousands of hours performing conservation projects in the Black Rock Desert and the High Rock Canyon, such as:

    • Installing gates for seasonal closures of sensitive areas to protect the bald eagle and big horn sheep during breeding and birthing seasons

    • Installing culverts to protect roads at water crossings

    • Building fences around hot springs

    • Design, construct and installing register boxes

    • Design and print brochures for register boxes

    • Perform maintenance and restoration on the cabins at Stevens Camp and Conlin Camp

    • Cleaning illegal garbage dumpsites from various locations

    • Installing barriers to protect meadows from vehicular traffic
