Trail Overview
Little Georges is an inviting, highly rewarding out-and-back trail that serves as the "milder" counterpart to nearby Georges Canyon. If you are looking for spectacular mountain scenery and high-desert solitude without the high-consequence rock crawling, this is the perfect route. The trail tracks along the western edge of 4 Mile Basin, providing an elevated vantage point to watch Pronghorn Antelope. The trail is a pleasant mix of smooth cruising and technical foothill navigation. As the trail gains elevation, it transitions from a well-defined two-track into a rockier, bumpier path that keeps the driver engaged. Along the route, you’ll pass striking volcanic rock formations that offer unique silhouettes against the blue Nevada sky. The motorized track culminates in a "hub" of multiple unnamed two-tracks that branch off into the rugged folds of the range, inviting you to explore the lesser-known corners of the Monitor Range on your way to finding a perfectly secluded camping spot.
