퍼싱 카운티 주변 최고의 교통량 없는 자전거 라이딩 코스

For a few weeks at the end of each summer Black Rock Desert is home to tens of thousands of festival goers attending Burning Man. For the rest of the year you'll be lucky to see more than a couple of people around, outside of organized events. There are some established "roads" and "trails" across the playa, but when the ground is dry you can pretty much ride wherever you want to for as far as you want to.

The Frog Ponds are more warm springs than hot springs, as they generally top out around 90F. Also, these ponds are on private property and can be closed to the public at the will of the owners. If the gate is closed please respect the closure. Trego Hot Springs are nearby and a good alternative when these are closed.

Riding to the summit of Steamboat isn't all that interesting and you might need to walk up the steeper sections, but the views from the top are excellent.

This basic cabin is available on a first come first served basis and is free of charge. You'll find a wood stove, vault toiler, and plenty of room to make yourself comfortable. The nearby meadows and hot springs are great to explore from this cabin as your base.

Soldier Meadows gets its name from the Civil War era, when a Camp McGarry was built in the newly admitted state. These days there are a number of dispersed campsites and hot springs for visitors to enjoy. BLM manages the area and advises travelers that "You are on your own" So if you do plan on making the journey out here be sure to have more than enough food, water, and supplies than you need. Tell people where you are going and have a backup plan.

As far as accessibility goes Trego is one of the easiest hot springs to get to around Black Rock. You can head up Jungo Road for a rocky gravel ride, or cross the playa from State Route 34. While the spring itself is natural, the ditch it runs into was hand dug in the 1800s. Temps can vary greatly so if you plan to soak test the waters first so you don't get scalded.

Beautiful, remote, and hard to access, Black Rock Hot Springs can feel like paradise. However, you must take proper care if you plan on soaking in these waters. Do your research and check with Friends of Black Rock, online or in Gerlach, for current Playa conditions. This ancient dry lakebed is only accessible when completely dry.

The trail to the summit of Steamboat is entirely dependent on how confident you are in your vehicle. There are a couple of deep gullys and sand washes after you leave Soldier Meadows Road, so you can park just off the road and walk from there. Or, if you have a good 4x4/AWD, you can drive up to the base and shorten the walk to just a couple hundred yards. The 360° views from the summit are incredible!
