BACKCOUNTRY & 4X4

(22 miles)

The road begins 11.7 miles north of Beatty, Nevada on Highway 95. Heading west across Sarcobatus Flats, the road forks in 12 miles to Strozzi Ranch on the left, and to Phinney Canyon on the right. Pinyon pine woodlands appear after the canyon is entered, and the road quickly becomes 4X4. From the pass there are views of the Grapevine Mountains high country and glimpses of the Sierra Nevada Range.
