Hualapai Flat (pronounced "wall-a-pie") is a valley in northwestern Nevada, US, located in the northwestern Black Rock Desert. Both valleys are separated by the Calico Hills. The Granite Range marks the southern and western edge of Hualapai Flat. In the north of the valley is bordered by Granit Range and Calico Hills. Washoe, Pershing, and Humboldt County meet at Hualapai Flat.
Two thirds of the northern part of the valley is used for grazing by cattle ranching. The southern third is occupied by a playa at Fly Ranch. The valley has a number of geothermal features associated with the northwestern Nevada volcanic region, such as Fly Geyser, also called The Geyser, Cottonwood Springs, and Wards Hot Spring.
In 1997 the Burning Man festival, usually located in Black Rock Desert, was held on private land in Hualapai Flat. The move was done in response to addressing traffic problems in the vast and open Black Rock desert.
