    McCullough Range

    There are no trails I know of on this side of the range, but there are dirt roads. If you're staying in Henderson or the further east side, on E Lake Mead Pkwy just outside of the NRA entrance there is a TH for a system of paved trails with nice views. Also Bootlegger Canyon has plenty of dirt...

    McCullough Range

    I've seen plenty of them out n' about. Came across a desert tortoise graveyard a while back as well. must have been 3 or 4 or shells in various stages of breaking apart.

    McCullough Range

    It has been a windy, rainy, cold start to the year so far. Makes for some GREAT visuals, but hiking is a mixed bag depending on exposure, although I was fortunate enough that there was plenty of sheltered hiking this day. I ran the dirt roads til I found just the right spot to start wandering...

    El Dorado Mountains

    It was actually very comfy, even with that one leg hiked up. At my back the rock was flat and reclined at just the right angle, and my butt was on nice sandy ground.

    Sloan Canyon NCA

    I am not exactly sure. I would say car camping allowed where you can find it unless specifically posted other wise, although sites are spares it seemed, not a lot of pull outs on the dirt roads.

    Sloan Canyon NCA

    What a nice day ! Warm, mixed sky, light wind. Perfect. Headed in on the Quo Vadis Mine Road til it topped out, then put boots to earth for a short jaunt up. I had wanted to make it out to the high point in frame upper left, but after some really enjoyable easy walking and spicy...

    Tushar Mountains

    I want to drive mom thru here this summer, but wonder how bad the road really is (or isn't...). Extended slow crawling and bouncing/swaying are deal breakers I hope are not present. What is FR 123 really like ?

    Album Up Close and Personal -- Photos Focused on the Details

    We have had some decent rains recently, but not aware of the bloom status this year, whether or not its good, bad, or neutral. Its probably a month early, or maybe 2, for the best chance of catching blooming flowers.

    El Dorado Mountains

    I have no idea on the water quality out of the Colorado there below the dam. I would think as long as you filter your a-OK, can't imagine its so bad that filtering or boiling wouldn't be enough. We drink it here in Vegas. If you ever make it you won't be disappointed.

    El Dorado Mountains

    Nice areas you hit there John, been to them all myself. I like the Horse Thief canyon route up Wilson, those calcified falls are really cool. HC is definitely needed for the Boulder City Conservation Easement rods, but I never had to go 4wd. Did not visit Forlorn Hope, road I took runs west of...

    El Dorado Mountains

    One of my favorite areas, I headed in along Forlorn Hope Spring designated road in the Boulder City Conservation Easement to the wall of mountains guarding the shattered lands falling away below towards the Colorado river. Great views and lots of hiking opportunities abound out there. I found a...

    Funeral Peak

    The mojave is open for business again! Seems like summer heat hangs on for-eeeeeeeeever. Spent a weekend camped in Greenwater Valley, lots of thunder and lightning and wind driven rain. Next day went up Funeral peak. Started the hike with heavy clouds just visible on the skyline. Within an hour...

    Five Pockets, Washakie wilderness area

    I am wondering if truck camping is allowed at Bog Lakes ? Or if camping is allowed along any of the FS roads leading out towards Five Pockets from Dubois ? Many thanks !

    OR Bag Cover and Alico boots

    If you or anyone you know would use these their yours for shipping. OR bag cover in excellent condition. It has laid in a closet for a decade or so though. Boots, Alico Tahoe. Started as 9.5 W. but... being an idiot, I let them dry on the dash and, surprisingly, they shrunk. Probably fit like...
