Nevada Silver Trails

Travel less than an hour west of Las Vegas on Route 60 and you’ll find yourself in the middle of one of the biggest networks of off-roading trails in the West. Crisscrossing acre after acre of rugged mountainous terrain, these trails are a prime destination for motoring adventurers of all kinds.

For a taste of something more exotic, visit the Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch. See racing events featuring vehicles like Lotuses and Corvettes, or talk to your hotel/resort concierge to take part in a one-, two- or three-day racing school.

Ready to get dirty? Then travel 30 minutes north of Pahrump and hit the Amargosa Dunes, home to 500- foot vertical sand formations practically begging to be sandboarded, plowed through on your ATV, or simply explored on foot.

Nestled between the 11,915-foot Mt. Charleston and the Spring Mountains to the east and the Nopah Vista Mountains and Death Valley to the west, Pahrump offers some quiet beauty, too. It’s the eastern gateway to Death Valley National Park, as well as the home of Pahrump Valley Winery, the only winery in the Mojave Desert. And birders and wildlife lovers will find plenty to explore on thousands of acres of wetlands at the Ash Meadows Wildlife Refuge, just 30 miles to the northwest.
