New Hike Post – Walking Box Ranch Road

E-P1010916-2This past week’s hike with the rock-hounds from the Heritage Park Senior Facility was out in the Mojave desert along Walking Box Ranch Road, located off of NV-164 (Nipton Rd.) about six miles west of Searchlight Nevada. Driving past the Walking Box Ranch, we rode this graded, yet quite bumpy road for approximately 7.5 miles before stopping at a well weathered holding corrals.  There are several of these old corrals, water troughs, and other ranch features scattered throughout this desert area. From here, we had views west of the Castle Peaks and the New York Mountain range and the Hart Peak to the south. Click here to view pictures and info on this location … Walking Box Ranch Road.
