The Inyo Mountains are a north-south trending desert mountain range between the Owens Valley to the west, and Death Valley National Park to the east. The 198,360 acre Inyo Mountains Wilderness was designated by Congress in 1994, and is jointly administered by the U.S. Forest Service (73,300 acres in the northern portion of the range) and the Bureau of Land Management (125,060 acres in the southern portion of the range).
