Kingston Road

Kingston Road is a straight-through, nearly 13-mile-long dirt connection between Sandy Valley and Goodsprings, which traverses over Wilson Pass at 5,047 feet. The western end of the road out of Sandy Valley follows a wide, rocky, dry desert wash with 6''-10'' ruts and loose rocks. The trail is well traveled by many vehicles, including passenger cars and SUVs, as they access a commercial gun range. This portion of the trail appears to be washed out often as it is a main drainage from the mountains. Users should be prepared for impassable conditions after heavy rain. After passing the gun range, the road narrows a bit and begins working its way up the mountains. The trail stays rough as it traverses a more washboard, hardpacked surface and follows the powerlines. The eastern side of the pass, as you approach Goodsprings, is a well-maintained, graded dirt road. The trail comes to an end on North Beacon Street as it transitions to pavement and then becomes Pacific Avenue. Don't forget to make a stop at the historic Pioneer Saloon, one of Nevada's oldest saloons.

This trail does not offer any camping, and although it can be run in 2WD, a high clearance vehicle will be needed, and airing down is highly recommended to help ease your comfort during the drive.
