Didn't take the dirt bike...

Recommended Posts

...this time but wanted to throw this out as this would be a great area to dual sport. Not moto so thought I'd post it over here. Took the wife and the SXS over to Mina, Nevada to do a little exploring. Mina is about 35 miles SE of Hawthorne. Lot's of mining history in the area and  spectacular scenery. We stayed in the RV park in Mina. Nearest gas and lodging is in Hawthorne. A local, Tom Willis has written a small guidebook to the area which I bought several years ago. It was available on Amazon but apparently not now. You can also get a copy at the rv park office.

If you are interested in going there I have tracks for all the trails in the book. We did three days of exploring and never once crossed path's with another human so it's pretty remote. Great time.

RZR. It's Nevada so lot's of rocks. Experienced rider should not have any trouble but I wouldn't advise for a newbie.
