Stonewall Mountain
Instructions
If you follow the main road to this hike, you will reach gate 71 of the
Nellis range. While this is interesting, it is also the wrong gate to
use since it is locked.
The laser warning sign is interesting. I wouldn't mind seeing a few laser beams hit the desert floor.
The proper entrance is at a gate
closer to the edge of the range. This is the typical ranch gate that
you would run into in the dark. [Been there, done that, cost me over a
grand in body damage.]
The sign is incorrect, that is, you will cross the Nellis range, as is shown on this auto navigation system. below.
Stonewall Spring
This is the spring itself, which has clearly eroded the rock. While
there is camping space next to it, I would suggest camping further away
since the local wildlife treks to the spring for water.
Targets
The short story is I didn't make it to the top of Stonewall Mountain
for a variety of reasons, mostly with some difficulty in following the
directions. [I now have the roads traced on a GPS.] I did photograph
some of the targets on the range from one of the hills. Photographs are
with a 400mm lens.
