Informazioni su questo Hiking Trail

Parte della Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, l'area nazionale di recreazione Spring Mountains offre centinaia di miglia di sentieri per escursioni che vanno da passeggiate di un giorno facili a percorsi impegnativi nel backcountry attraverso ecosistemi desertici e alpini. Situata appena fuori Las Vegas, è perfetta per escursionisti, appassionati di trekking e amanti della natura che cercano temperature più fresche e un'area selvaggia incontaminata. L'area presenta notevoli variazioni di altitudine, prati fioriti, torrenti montani e panorami sul deserto di Mojave sottostante.
