The most complete guide to Southern Nevada's mining history.

Transportation, safety equipment and meals are not provided for this or any event.

Please, note: We will not be meeting at our usual location.

List of items you'll need:

Communications radio (limited amount available for loan)
Lunch, snacks, drinks
Toiletries and medications

Sunscreen

Folding chairs

We will not be stopping between meeting and the mountains. Stop for fuel, food, and other supplies before meeting. We will be stopping for lunch on the trail, but lunch will not be provided. This is not a cookout event. There will be no grill or fire for cooking. Only bring enough food and drinks for yourself and your party. There are no restrooms along the trail. Bring your own toiletries and medications.

We haven't been there in about a decade, so we're not sure about trail conditions or closures. We usually pre-run these events, but won't have time to prepare. We're hoping for an easy route, but also be prepared for delays.

There will be some trail obstacles, but nothing too severe or technical. A high clearance vehicle is required, but not 4 wheel drive. Offroad tires are recommended. All participation is voluntary and all portions of the trail should be considered optional. If you come to a portion of the trail that you feel is beyond the capability of your vehicle or skill level, there is no requirement to continue. As stated in the Safety and Waivers all participants are responsible for their own property damage.

Some hiking and climbing with moderate elevation changes should be expected throughout the day, but nothing of length or extreme difficulty.

Because there are so many variables, an estimated return time cannot be given. I do know the one-way drive from meeting to offroad is about an hour. Most of our events end around 2-3 PM, but each event is different. We always have a goal to have everyone back on pavement by sunset, but expect this one to be a long day.

Attending this and any site group event is with the understanding, agreement, and acceptance of the event liability and waivers. If you have not or it's been a while, please read or review the information provided in the link.

Scheduled Event: Saturday. May 31, 2025
We'll be returning the south Ivanpah area of California. It doesn't seem like 10 years since we were there last. The mines in this area have been made "safe" and secured. There are no underground opportunities along this route, but there are still plenty of things to see on the surface. Here's a review of our last trip there.

Please note, we will not be meeting at the usual Burger King.
