Silver King to Middle Silver State Trail

Silver King to Middle Silver State Trail is a scenic, straightforward offroad route through Nevada's high desert, offering views of Gap Mountain. Extending 8.2 miles, this wide, graded dirt trail serves as a gateway to the region's larger trail network. It rises from 5,715 feet to 6,208 feet with a gentle 556-foot elevation gain, making it accessible for two-wheel-drive vehicles with decent clearance in dry conditions. The route traverses open desert plains and rolling foothills with juniper forests. Because the trail crosses several dry washes, avoid travel during heavy rains due to flash flood risks. There is no winter maintenance or cellular service along this route.
