Sonoma Peak

Close to Winnemucca Nevada, this one has a name that seems like it should be in California. The mining district near the mountain that was called the “Sonoma Mining district” may have influenced the naming of the peak. This peak is significant due to its 3900 feet of prominence and the fact that it is the 28th most prominent peak in Nevada.

Sonoma Peak is one of those mountains that you see often enough that you say to yourself, “someday I will climb that peak”. Having driven I-80 many many times I’ve noticed this one to the southwest of Winnemucca Nevada and I knew I would pay it a visit some day. The opportunity to finally go after this one came when I agreed to hook up with my friend Ken Jones of Seattle for some late October peak bagging in Nevada. Sonoma was our number one objective and the first peak we went after. I picked up Ken at the Salt Lake City airport on Thursday evening and together we drove halfway across the state of Nevada before pulling off of the road and getting some shut eye that we sorely needed. Then Friday morning, we drove the remaining 75 miles to Golconda Nevada and left I-80 for the peak. Using driving directions provided by Dennis Poulin who had recently climbed the peak (August of 2011), we made our way to the base of this one.

I offer the above mini trip report as a demonstration of how much we wanted to find our way to the top of this one as Ken also had had his eye on this peak for quite a while as well. Chasing the prominence peaks of Nevada is one of those goals we both have and any peak with over 3000 feet of prominence were high on our list (there are 64 of these peaks in Nevada).
Nevada has just a few of us who are into chasing the prominence peaks. I
could pretty much count those individuals on two hands and rightly so since Nevada’s peaks are very isolated and often hard to get to, requiring vehicles with high clearance and 4WD capability.

Sonoma Peak is actually one of those few peaks that are fairly close to a major highway and in reality is one of the easier peaks to get access to.

Humboldt State Wildlife Management Area

The Nevada Department of Wildlife owns or has long-term leases on more than 155,000 acres of land incorporated into wildlife management areas (WMAs) across the state of Nevada. The primary conservation goal on WMAs is the protection of wetlands and waterfowl, including the use of WMAs for recreational hunting.

The area that comprises the Humboldt WMA has a rich history of human activity starting with Native American tribes that occupied cave dwellings in the West Humboldt Range and hunted for wetland associated wildlife within the Humboldt Sink.  In later years, numerous artifacts were discovered in the cave sites surrounding the Sink including the oldest known waterfowl decoy – made from tules. During the mid 1850’s, emigrants traveling to the West Coast would use the Emigrant Trail which travels along the west side of the Sink.  The settlers would stop at what is now the Toy railroad siding to stock up on fresh water before beginning their trek across the Forty Mile Desert.  In 1953, the Nevada Fish and Game Commission began efforts to create a state managed wildlife area within the Sink.  Through a series of leases, purchases, land trades and donations, the Humboldt WMA was created and today comprises a total of 37,140 acres (58 sq mi) of land. 

From Reno, take I-80 east to a point 11 miles west of Lovelock (Toulon Exit). Exit freeway and travel northeast on frontage road for approximately 4.6 miles to Airport Road. Travel southeast on Airport Road for 1.6 miles to main entrance road. Area may also be accessed by traveling southeast on frontage road from Toulon Exit for 4.6 miles to Toy Mill entrance.
