Copper Cache Canyon

An hour south of Las Vegas is one of the country's best-preserved ghost towns; Nelson, Nevada. It's an opportunity to catch a glimpse into what desert life must have been like for the early settlers. Located moments from the ghost town, in a nondescript wash, is one of the areas most popular rock crawling trails. Copper Cache Canyon is a local favorite for those looking to push the limits of their modified 4x4's. The trail travels through a narrow slot canyon with rock ledges, large boulders, and even an old mine site. Visiting the ghost town and linking this trail with others in the area makes for a truly memorable day on the trail.
