Amargosa Dunes

Amargosa Dunes ![]() Status: Open Type: Dune (BLM) Location: Amargosa, NV Difficulty: View Details... View Map... Print...If you live near Las Vegas and want to catch some big air or just cruise through the bushes over some rolling dunes, you would probably enjoy this place. The crushed grains of quartz and feldspar rock make these dunes firm and easier to navigate without a paddle tire. With lots of small washes and large areas of dispersed vegetation surrounding the area, it's kind of a fun place to set up camp, carve out a little sand track for the kids, let the dog run, and maybe kick back for a BBQ. The crowds are small (or none) compared to the well known meccas of California like Dumont or Glamis. This place is much smaller, and more similar in size to Sand Mountain in northern Nevada, but without the crowds and fewer regulations. The mountain views are really great, especially from the top of the dunes, and the access road is flat and easy. Bring your own shade and water. Note: This sand is pretty firm compared to beach sand, but for people who have never ridden dunes before, you should be aware that any type of sand requires a lot of horsepower and can easily overheat your dirt bike or ATV. At areas like this people will often use something like a Sand Snake for motorcycles, or Sedona Cyclones for ATVs. More... |

Black Rock Desert ![]() Status: Open Type: Trail (BLM) Location: Gerlach, NV Difficulty: View Details... View Map...

The nearby town of Gerlach has basic supplies only. Summer temperatures can soar to well above 100F then drop considerably at night. Also note that during the winter months and wet weather conditions, the playa gets very muddy and sticky. Although there are several hot springs scattered throughout the area, use caution (some water temperatures can range from 160F - 190F). This area is also home to the annual Burning Man event, which is held the week prior and through Labor Day weekend. More... |

RV owners should note that there is no clearly designated staging area and most turnarounds are fairly small and tight.

Bull Ranch Creek

Bull Ranch Creek ![]() Status: Open Type: Trail (BLM, National Forest) Location: Reno, NV Difficulty: View Details... View Map... Print...If you are coming to Reno to ride, this place is not to be overlooked. Moonrocks may be more popular, but in our opinion Dog Valley is more fun, with some interesting scenery and views of the nearby Truckee River. What makes it so fun is the wide variety of terrain, with trails that wind through sand and desert sage, teeter along the mountain ridges, and then tunnel deep into the woods. Many of the woods trails are single track (and we mean 18 inches wide), and the rest are perfect for ATVs. Note that some of the wooded areas don't thaw until late May or even June. This is listed as a Nevada riding area because it is so near to Reno, however large portions of the area are in California, including the recommended staging area, so be sure to get a California OHMVR sticker.

Eldorado Canyon ![]() Status: Open Type: Trail (BLM) Location: Dayton, NV Difficulty: View Details... View Map...

The trails get a little bit rocky, but if you like stream and creek crossings, you'll want to hit this place during spring thaw when the creek washes out over the parts of the trail. Due to the elevation and the shade from the trees you may find some trails blocked by snow even in the late spring. You can can stage or camp at the trailhead or there are some primitive camping spots along the trail on your way up the canyon, but a 4x4 is recommended to access anything past the base of the canyon.

Also beware the trash and debris such as broken glass and scrap metal that is scattered throughout some parts of this area. There aren't many side trails or any single-track that is easy to find, but it is a great place to break in a motor or to take out the kids for a few hours. For more interesting terrain and better camping, we recommend nearby Nelson Hills, or Jean Roach Dry Lake Bed. More... |

Hunter Lake Trail ![]() Status: Open Type: Trail (National Forest) Location: Reno, NV Difficulty: View Details... View Map...

If you stick to the main road, it's not the most difficult climb you'll ever make, but its rocky enough to frustrate any beginner on a motorcycle. Quads handle it better, but the makeshift motocross track at the upper staging area (top of the first hill about 1/4 mile in) is as far as you'll want to go with the tykes. There are some nice camping spots up at Hunter Lake (a shallow pond about 6 miles in), and you can continue past the lake for even more jeep trails which eventually lead to Hwy 89. This is not a bad day-ride, overall, and while the views of Reno are great, it's the kind of trail you'll only want to ride once. More... |

Actually no, that's nearby Death Valley, but you get the point! This trail system sits on the scenic eastern boundary of the Valley of Fire about 45 miles northeast of Las Vegas. The riding area consists of one main easy loop and a handful of sandy side trails that wind through a chain of rock formations. A massive amount of effort went into acquiring and managing these trails and you can read all about it at the main trailhead. If you pay attention you'll see some tarantulas, and maybe some desert big horn sheep or other desert wildlife, but perhaps most interesting thing to see are the petroglyphs. These primitive drawings can be found on the rock formations at few locations. Overall, this is a fun place to camp, and a decent place to ride for beginners and tourists, with nothing too challenging on the main loop. (If you are going to play around in some of the brushy areas with deep sand and blind corners we recommend a whip flag.) If you are adventurous you can ride the ridgetop trails or ride from your campsite all the way into the town of Overton for supplies. Large ATV tour groups run through this area daily.

There are also a handful of marked side trails but the overall area is fairly small. Whip flags are mandatory and there are two types of passes that can be purchased; the weekly pass which runs about $40.00 per OHV and is good for 7 days, and the annual pass which is about $90.00. All visitors are required to pay at least a use fee, regardless if they bring an OHV or not and there is an on-site fee station which will accept cash (exact change only) or check. Note, that the last time we checked, daily passes were not available, so you may have to pay for all 7 days to ride just one, but Tuesdays and Wednesdays are free so if you can hit this place mid week it is a bargain. There are no other services except for the vault toilets and summer weekends are crowded (5,000 ATVs - one main dune). Quiet hours are from 12am - 6am and alcoholic beverages, firearms and glass containers are prohibited. If you like dunes keep in mind that there are three other sand dune areas in remote areas of Nevada (Tonopah Dunes, Amargosa Dunes, and Winnemucca Sand Dunes) some of which are larger, free, and every bit as fun.
