Featured River of the Month
Quinn River
The Quinn River is a remote and rugged desert stream that runs intermittently for 110 miles from its headwaters in the Santa Rosa Range through the high desert of northeast Nevada. Unlike most rivers, the Quinn is a terminal river, meaning it never reaches the ocean or another river. Instead, it evaporates into the sands of the Quinn River Sink in the Black Rock Desert (of land-speed, hot spring and Burning Man fame). The Quinn River basin is defined by pristine mountain streams and vast stretches of public land converging in arid valley bottoms.
