Description

Big granite walls in the remoteness of the Nevada desert.

Getting There

Off the south flank of Toiyabe Range Peak (39d 04' 15" N, 117d 12' 50" W). Just take 376 south a short ways from the megalopolis of Kingston, Nevada, which has its own airport.

At 39.044758, -117.165431 take a dirt road and make your way to "Indian Burial Grd Road". Do NOT take the road that goes to the residence/ranch on the hillside north of McLeod Creek. Make your way west toward the base of the mountain and park at 39.062016, -117.201551.

For those with technical issues, approaching at night, etc, the correct road starts just a few feet north of highway mile marker 72. The road cuts sharply SSW (close the gate!), then follow the least overgrown road (generally stay right at forks until near the hillside, where you head left).
