Post subject: | Lincoln County Trails Day |
June 2nd is National Trails Day, with special events taking place all over the country ranging from ATV runs, to hiking, and 4X4 adventures. This year will be the 4th year Lincoln County, NV will be hosting such events. The hosting site will be Caliente, NV, with many of the events starting from or nearby there. Caliente is about a 2 1/2 drive North from Las Vegas. Whether you want to hike, ride your horse, an ATV or drive your 4X, they have an event just for you. I will be leading this year’s 4X run, which will start just outside Caliente which is located at just over 4000’ in elevation. It will run through Antelope Canyon wash, North across the West face of Chief Mtn. to a Trilobite Fossil site for exploration and lunch. From there we’ll continue heading North past the Pan American Mine and the Mountain Lion Mine, climbing to over 7000’ in elevation before dropping over Manhattan Gap. Then we will carry on to the Wheeler Ranch site, Wheeler Mill and the Black Prince Mine before finally seeing asphalt again. In total, the run will be about 50 miles of dirt, most being segments of the newly created Silver State Trail being created by the BLM. The trip should take less than 8 hours total, depending on vehicle count and time spent at the sites. It rates an easy 1.5 on a 5 scale, with the hardest part being two track roads early on before we tie into the SST, which are predominantly graded roads. This is meant to be a very enjoyable, picturesque run that can be handled with virtually any high clearance 4WD vehicle and limited off roading skill. Everything from high dessert fauna, wild flowers, and Ponderosa pines to deer and elk can be seen along this run. Bring the family, your camera, and a lunch and enjoy the cool temps of historical rural Nevada. Afterward, a Dutch oven dinner will be served at Rose Park in Caliente at 5PM. Friday, June 1st will include an easy and short sunset 4X run from Caliente, through English Canyon and stopping at an incredible view of Kershaw-Ryan State Park from 300+ feet above the park. This run is free to anyone interested, and is being done for the early birds in attendance. Sunday is open for anyone staying over wanting to do/see more sites. I could either lead or direct others where to go if wanted. More information can be found at the Lincoln County site: http://www.lincolncountynevada.com/trailsday.html It’s being constantly updated so be sure to check in often if interested in attending. Early registration forms can be sent by emailing them here: Info@LincolnCountyNevada.com Registration varies for motorized or non-motorized, but for this run it will be $30 for individual, $40 for couples and $50 for families. Registration includes a t-shirt, Dutch oven dinner and door prize tickets. Lodging info can also be found at the website above, but the main places to stay in Caliente are: Lodging: Shady Motel 726-3106 Caliente Hot Springs Motel 726-3777 Midway Motel 726-3199 Rainbow Canyon Motel 726-3291 RV Parks: Agua Caliente RV Park 726-3399 Young's RV Park 726-3418 There are also 4 state parks that offer camping and RV spaces, as well as fishing and hiking activities. http://www.lincolncountynevada.com/parks.html Rooms tend to go fast, and the parks are popular during the summer months, so be sure to plan ahead and reserve your spots/rooms. Hope to see you there. |

Again, just a reminder for our little tribe. I can host a big slumber party at my cousin's vacation house outside Caliente for anyone interested in going. There's limited bed space, but plenty of floor space for air mattresses and sleeping bags. Between me and him, I think we have 5 air mattresses for use if needed. The house has everything you need, Joe and Al can attest ![]() There's also room for 5 or so RV's or campers, more if we can get them in just right. Plus 5 acres if you want to go pitch a tent ![]() I'll be up there Thursday night through at least Sunday night, so you could arrive and leave pretty much anytime. There's a big Dutch Oven dinner Saturday, but we could have a pot luck if anyone is interested Friday night. If you plan to go, please let me know so I can reserve a spot for you, wherever it may be ![]() Either post here, PM me or email me at gbodell@cox dot net. |

I have a question. I haven't been able to find a registration form online. Do you happen to have the direct link to the registration forms? If not, how do I get registered because I'd really like to go. Thanks!! |

I'm also going up there for meetings and more trail runs, so I should be able to pick some up mid-April too. |

Hey Gary, did you get up there for meetings yet? If so, did you get any registration forms? Just wondering. I didn't see anything on their website yet. If you didn't have the chance to pick any forms up, I'll just email them and try that way which is no problem. There is so much going on as far as events, I'm having a hard time keeping track. Maybe this thread should be pinned so its always on top and in front of everyone's face every time they check the message board. Just a thought. |

I wasn't able to get up there last night. My new $500 radiator decided it was going to spring a leak on me. So guess what I got to do today ![]() I just checked and they updated the page with a link for the form. If you don't see it, try refreshing. Or clicky the linky: http://www.lincolncountynevada.com/imag ... ration.pdf |

BTW, anyone who decides to go after the deadline still can. It's just that you might not get a shirt or a dinner ticket. I believe they are planning for some late comers, but selection and availability might be limited at best. Also, anyone wanting to go and shack up at my cousin's place, be it inside or out, please let me know, either on here or PM or email me. So far I know Jon and Chris mentioned a camp spot, and Joe wants a patch of carpet ![]() |

Gary, we are very sorry, but going to have to back out on this run. Something has come up and we are not able to attend. Sounds like a very fun weekend and we will be missing out. Thanks for the offer to park there. Hope everyone takes lots of pictures and posts them. John and Chris |

I finally got my registration form sent in for the run. It sure took me long enough. I hope I beat the deadline. I'm sure looking forward to it. |

It shouldn't be an issue. They planned this years dinner and events on last years turn out, so even folks registering the day of might be able to get a shirt and a meal. |
