The Back Roads in Nevada
The Back Roads in Nevada
The Back Roads in Nevada, we did a lot of exploring when we were camping in Nevada last winter. Every corner we turned was a surprising new landscape to see, something most unexpected at times.
We headed out one morning from the little town of Pioche and saw mountains off in the distance. As the drive started it was flat barren land and not much to look at.
We drove to the base of Horse thief Mountain and as we turned around the last bend these beautiful rock cliffs were surrounding us on all sides.
This part of Nevada has lots of natural springs where water is coming out of the ground on its own and flowing down some of the dirt roads. As you can see here we were driving the back country as fresh water just flowed down the road.
We also came across some old gold mines off on some of these roads, I looked it up and Nevada still has nearly 180,000 active mines. We will be visiting this area again one day.

Beautiful view 👌👌👌
Thank you Dard.😊
Merry Christmas and Happy New year from mdcharji.com to a great writer!
Thank you very much, Merry Christmas 😊
Nice
Thank you 😊
There is definitely more in Nevada to explore – we use Las Vegas as our hub when we head out on our photography trips to that region – plenty of nice places around there (Valley of Fire, Red Rock Conservation Area) and also easy to get to all the Utah gems.
Yes, we definitely need to go back there. We only stopped at a couple of places as we were heading north. It sure is a pretty state.
One of the beautiful places of earth.
I love those blue skies! Where will you spend Christmas?
We are in Georgia for Christmas, the cold weather is reaching down here as well. But no snow, 😊
Stay safe!
Photos are beautiful and nice blog 👍
Thank you very much 😊

Thanks so much! 🤩😃😄
Thanks so much! 😀😃😄
Senator Reid would be delighted. He did love the natural world of Nevada.
😊
Just beautiful, Sandra!
Nevada surprised me with quite a diverse landscape. This natural spring are was so refreshing to see after such a long time in the desert.
Wonderful mountains and that spring water just running down the road. Not a person in sight. Lovely.
Yes, the water just keeps flowing. A nice thing to see when it has been such a dry year. Thank you Sandy
Very special.
As often as I drove in Nevada, I never veered off into the back roads. Thanks, Sandra, for expanding my view of Nevada.
It was so much fun going down some of the dirt roads and no other people in sight for miles. It is nice to see so much land with no buildings on it. Have a wonderful day Don.
Thank you, Sandra.
Oooooh, nice 🙂
Thank you Greg. Lots of trails to explore in Nevada. 😊
I’ve been to the big cities of Nevada, and I’ve driven through rural parts of Nevada a couple of times, but I haven’t done much exploring.
These are beautiful photos. Nevada surprised us–so much flat dessert and then such beautiful landscapes. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you very much Francine 😊
This is great Sandra. Thank you. It must have been a wonderful and interesting experience. One imagines the history and all who went before.
Merry Christmas
That is what I think about RJ, all the folks who were here and raised families. How life was so different.
Are you headed back out here this year?
We might be coming your way next winter. We are staying around here this year, less driving. My brother in Montana already invited us out his way next fall so we may be just going south from there next year Emilie.
Beautiful scenery Sandra and who knows…. maybe one day you may find some gold there 🙂
Wouldn’t that be fun, my husband has a good eye for finding such things. We still pick up pennies we see on the ground. 😊
