Getting to the Roadhead
This road is located on Highway 93 about 30 minutes from town. From Las Vegas, drive north on Interstate-15 for 21 miles to Highway 93. Turn left onto Great Basin Highway (Hwy 93) and drive north 16.4 miles to a quarry road on the right (Table 1, Site 1026).
The Road
From Highway 93, turn right and drive through the gate in the highway fence onto the dirt. Drive east another 30 yards to a fork (Site 1826). Stay left and bend north staying left of the powerline.
At about 0.3 miles out, the road forks (Site 1827) again. Stay right passing under the powerlines and heading towards a cell tower.
Staying right of the cell tower, the road runs up into a canyon. There are several trailhead parking options, but just stopping at the mouth of the wash (Site 1827) probably is easiest even though drivers can stay left and drive a bit farther up the canyon. Park around here; this is the trailhead. Don't park in the wash if storms are in the forecast. |
