Summary:

 

What lies north of Las Vegas (other than the Nuclear Test Site)? We wanted to know the answer to that question. We wanted to know right now! We quickly gathered a group to explore. Due to the short notice we had a small group and small groups have the advantage of being able to easily change their trip plan mid-trip. This turned out to be good because the only item on our trip agenda was to see if we could reach Dead Man's Canyon, that according to the map, was located to the north of Las Vegas within a large area marked Desert National Wildlife Range. The area we wished to explore was relatively near Las Vegas, so we decided to start a bit later than some of our other adventures. After a quick breakfast we depart northward along highway U.S. 95. According to the map, there were two roads we could choose to take. One led to the Indian reservation and the other led to Corn Creek. We reached the Indian reservation road first, but it was paved and looked entirely too tame for us. We proceeded to the next turn off and thankfully, it was a dirt road. The adventure begins.
