Trail Overview
Hacketts Ranch Road is a 3-mile point-to-point trail rated 3 of 10 located in Lincoln County, Nevada. The road runs from the Utah state line west to the Hackett Ranch. The trail from the state line down the mountain to Hacketts Ranch is little used and may be overgrown, pinstriping is a distinct possibility. The trail descends from the state line nearly 1000 feet down in approximately 3 miles. The trail runs through Pinyon Pine and juniper scrub. During the late spring and early summer, wildflowers and cactus blooms can be seen. Located at the Hacketts Ranch is the family cemetery as well as several structures that remain. The Hacketts owned several of the mines in the local area to include the Marble, Midnight, Everest, Lone, and Reliance. Around 1920 as mining waned in the area the Hacketts got into ranching and the cattle business. The ranch house was built in the early 20s. There is no cell service along this trail and the nearest services are in Enterprise or Newcastle, Utah to the east or Panaca, Nevada to the west.
