Itinerary description
Jan 19, 2013 9:13 am Nevada Backroaders 4x4 January 2013 Club run.
The Trail started West of Searchlight NV from Nipton Road.The trail heads through a beautiful forest of large Joshua Trees. Part of this forest, though not the part we're going through, is officially called the Wee Thump Joshua Tree Wilderness Area. Wee Thump is Yuman for “ancient ones” , and it refers to the ancient Joshua Trees of the area. We took a brief detour from the main trail to see some petroglyphs, and stoped to inspect an old cattle corral that has a curious water tank. The trail eventually dips down into a wash that winds its way through the Highland Mountain Range. We stopped at Cow Spring, where there are some old stone walls/foundations, and a spring that may have a bit of water. We also took a side trip up to a very large guzzler maintained for Bighorn Sheep and had lunch. This site overlooks a rather stunning dropoff. Then back down the mountain to the power line roads and back to US 95 to return to Las Vegas.
