Trail Overview
Located in the Johnson OHV park, this trail has views of Minden, the Sierra Nevada Mountains, and Pine Nut Mountains. A man-made dirt pile is meant to block the trail at 4.82 miles. At this point, along the ridge, there is a small area where you can turn around. The dirt trail is a double-track trail. It has several steep, rocky and rutted areas that will require 4WD with high clearance. Food, gas and lodging are available at the trailhead located 10 miles from Minden, NV along Hwy 395.
