Trail Overview

This is an easy drive through the desert mountains that ends at a waterfall encampment. As the name suggests, there is an abandoned "cow camp" where they used to gather the cattle. While there is some loose gravel and dirt sections along the drive, any truck or SUV should make it through pretty easily with or without 4WD. There are also a few spots for a nice, shady picnic along the way.

Easy trail with wonderful views and abundant cacti, relaxing and remote only a few mile from Vegas. Cow pen at end of the road is an interesting photo op.

Pretty easy side quest if you’re on Alamo rd. Very quiet back there, no sound of wind no leaves no nothing. Just you and your ringing tinnitus
