    Gold Butte, Nevada

    More of a region, Gold Butte is roughly the area west of the NV-AZ state line, east of Lake Mead, north of Lake Mead, and south of I15. The area has a few very rough roads and fewer established trails. Gold Butte has lots of sandstone wonders, rock art, modern history, and plenty of opportunities for solitude.

What we experience in powder is the original human self, which lies deeply inside each of us, still undamaged in spite of what our present culture tries to do to us. Once experienced, this kind of living is recognized as the only way to live

    Wow, you covered a lot. A favorite area of mine, too.

    I've been out there a few times. In fact, I'm pretty sure the spare tire to my 5th wheel is sitting out there someplace.

    I love GoldButte. There are tons of areas to explore and some super nifty stuff all the way back at the river/lake. Used to be able to ride all over that place on a dirt bike now they've really cut down on some of the trail options there. One of the coolest desert oasis's I've ever seen is out there.
