Join us on Saturday, October 11th for a guided hike on the New York Mountains Trail, which traverses a rich Joshua tree woodland habitat with good size Joshua trees, Mojave and banana yuccas, and a variety of cacti nestled in blackbrush. We’ll also get to see some beautiful rock features and great views of Avi Kwa Ame (Spirit Mountain), the Castle Mountains, and the New York Mountains.

The New York Mountains Trail is an out and back route. We will be going 2 1/2 miles up a wash to some beautiful rock features where we will have a snack, and then return, for a total of 5 miles. The hike is easy to moderate.

Details:

We will meet at 8:30AM at the Denny's in Searchlight, at 100 US Hwy 95. There are no restrooms at the trailhead, so make sure to use the facilities at Denny's.

We will leave at 9:00 am, and will caravan 7 miles west on Nevada Hwy 164, (Joshua Tree Hwy/Nipton Road) before turning left on Walking Box Road. 7 1/2 miles down the road, we’ll come across corrals on the right, where there is plenty of parking.

Wear good hiking shoes, bring plenty of water, and your walking stick. Dogs are allowed on leash.

Please RSVP as space is limited and we want to be able to send last minute details or changes to those who are planning to attend.
