Pahrump Point and Ibex Dunes
Posted: Mon Nov 20, 2006 12:03 am
I day hiked to Pahrump Point (between Shoshone, California and Pahrump, Nevada) in the Nopah Range on Saturday. It was a nice hike mostly with a fun summit ridge. The hike is about 8 miles round-trip with 3400 feet gain. There's not much gain in the first two miles, which is along a road that you're not allowed to drive on anymore (unfortunately). It gets steep over the last two miles as you head up a wash and a couple gullies to gain the summit ridge.
Here are pictures I took:

I was planning on doing Stewart Point, which is the same area today but my ankle decided to give me problems and cancelled those plans. I ended up camping out by Ibex Dunes and getting up early this morning to go check out the dunes. Here are some pictures I took of the Ibex Dunes:
