About the Event
Come spend the day with us as we explore one of Nevada's newest national monuments! If you have not been to Gold Butte, then you are missing out. During this full day of adventure, we will meet at the Speedy Mark at 0700. This is where we will gas up, get grub, etc. There is little or no cell phone reception in and around Gold Butte, no services, etc., so plan accordingly.
The Plan
From the meeting place, we will travel to Gold Butte.
First Stop: The Falling Man petroglyph trail. This will involve some hiking and a little rock scrambling. You will be amazed at the amount of rock art displayed on the walls.
Second Stop: Whitney Pocket. Here you will explore a small damn and cistern built in the 1930's by the Civilian Conservation Corps, as well as some interesting rock formations.
Third Stop: The 7 Keyhole…
