This trip is to explore the old mines and ghost towns around Tonopah, Nevada. All of the trails are listed 1-4/10 difficulty and 8-10/10 scenic. I have not been on any of these trails Description of vehicle requirements are high clearance required - 4WD preferred. Most of these trail require 1 - 3 hours of driving time. Daily driving time, not including lunch and exploring, is estimated at 5 - 6 hours depending on how many trails are done in any given day. We would be based out the Hotel Mizpah in Tonopah although other hotels are in the area....I don't have any information about camping but that could be researched by folks if interested.
