Cougar Point, located within the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, offers a remote and rugged experience. The trail leading to Cougar Point is unmaintained, with sections made challenging by washouts and large rocks scattered across the path. Despite the rough terrain, the trail rewards you with wide-open high desert plateaus, offering expansive views of mountain ranges to the west.
While there are no discernible camping spots along the trail, the landscape's vastness and solitude make it a unique journey. Travelers should be prepared to open and close several gates along the way, a reminder of the trail's remote and untamed nature. Cougar Point is for those seeking the solitude of the high desert and the adventure of navigating one of the forest's more challenging routes.
