The Big Smoky Valley offers a wide variety of outdoor activities such as hiking, off roading, camping, hunting, fishing, canyoneering, rock climbing and stargazing. We are part of a 'dark sky' area and within 200 miles of Death Valley. Central Nevada has many amazing geological wonders to see like Diana's Punchbowl in Monitor Valley. The Round Mountain area has a lot of wildlife to be seen, like deer, elk, coyote, mountain lion, big horn sheep, wild goats, owls, hawks and eagles. There are hot springs nearby and the "Worlds Largest Junk Car Forest" is located just south of Goldfield about 85 miles away. Our canyons offer spectacular views and occasional waterfalls, such as the one in Broad Canyon that is 175 feet tall.

Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada, United States
Moderate:6.7 miles, 1-3 hours
A Valley of Fire loop hike with great views and water - year round.
This is a hike to a spring that has water year round. The spring seeps out of the ground and runs in a small stream through some grasses that result from this water in an otherwise dry area. There are numerous cat tails and tamarisk. There is evidence of recent rains bringing down mud and gravel when the water ran quickly down the wash to the east.
North Twin River Road Trail is a 6.5 mile out and back trail located near Round Mountain, NV that features beautiful wild flowers and is only recommended for very experienced adventurers. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, nature trips, and birding and is accessible from June until November.
