A beautiful area and not at all like most of Nevada...a mini oasis surrounded by 100 square miles of sage brush and dust. We will car camp in a canyon with cliffs rising 1000 feet in every direction, hammocks hung within 100 feet of the car and campfire. The stream is just a couple minutes walk and we have miles of water that parallel the road. Miles of trails to day hike, or more steam to fish than we can cover in one trip.

Hammock camp will be at the map link above....not much more than a wide dirt area to park in and a tree lined hill this will be a primitive area car camping trip. Come prepared, no running water, no bathroom (though there is a couple of pit toilets within a 2 mile drive both up and down canyon) and no cell service in the canyon. However we will have a good measure of solitude within the wilderness area just a short drive from the town of Elko, close enough to make a store run for supplies should we need.

The Fishing in the stream is some of the best anywhere in the region and one of the best kept secrets in the west. SSSSHH! Miles of tight bolder strewn canyon or high glacial meadows full of beaver ponds. 3 species of trout fill the canon and grow to impressive size for the volume of water they have to live in.
There is a lot of creek to cover and something for everyone that enjoys some fishing. Whether you like to work hard for each fish picking them out of small plunge pools or prefer to fish flat water there is some of everything within a short drive of camp. But there is also lots of trails to day hike for those that want to climb a peak and stand at 10'000 for the day.
Join us in October for one of Nevada's more hidden oasis in the desert,
