If you scroll down this page, there is an update from 7/11/11 saying :
http://www.unique-photography-concepts. ... -pass.htmlWe have just been informed that the Wheeler Pass Road has been closed by residents because a few thoughtless individuals have been driving/riding fast, raising dust and harassing pets. When visiting the Cold Creek Area, drive slowly and please be respectful of the residents and property owners. This is a great place to explore and view Wild Horses and it could be lost to us due to the actions of a few "bone heads"!
I also found this post discussing the same situation:
http://www.thumpertalk.com/forum/showth ... p?t=996650Does anyone know if the whole trail is closed, or if there is a way around this? I was going to make the trip for my first time on Sunday, starting in Pahrump. I would hate to make it all the way to Cold Creek to have to turn back. Maybe I'll just check out Carpenter Canyon instead.
Thanks for helping the newbie.
