Loop Boundary Road

Loop Boundary Road is a moderately difficult, very scenic, and crucial 4x4 connector route for the continuous backcountry trail network along the west side of the Spring Mountains National Recreation Area (SMNRA). This backcountry 4x4 trail near Pahrump offers spectacular views from Charleston Peak to Telescope Peak in Death Valley National Park some 70 miles to the west. The route runs through high desert and the coniferous forest climate zone, with a total altitude change of nearly 4000 feet. The Spring Mountains National Recreation Area is part of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest. Better known to locals as Mount Charleston, it is located west of Las Vegas and encompasses more than 316,000 acres of remarkable beauty and surprising diversity.
