Wheel in Central NV, Eureka Area? - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

BarrelRoll · 02-14-2010, 06:53 PM

I put in for a job in Eureka Nevada, is there any wheeling around? It looks like lots of BLM land though I've come to find BLM land hit or miss for trails, usually 2 tracks but not a lot to push a rig on 35's. Any insight about the area would be great.

Thanks,
Andy

Eureka is a great place to 4x4. Its a very small town about a mile long. Let me guess you are a miner??? Well Im from there still maintain a house there. Blm dont bother to much, I certainly never ran into them. Its a pretty much free for all. Teenagers always party out in the middle of now where, thats the way I rolled back in the day. Now I head down ride my quad sometimes just tear it up in the Truck.

Eureka is surrounded by mountain ranges, so you should not have any trouble finding local places to push your rig. It is a really small town though, so you might be finding these places on your own as opposed to joining a club and learning where the trails are. Elko (about two hours north) has some really good trails and you are only 7 hours away from Moab in Eureka.

So my interview went well, we'll see what happens. How much snow do they get in that area?

5 1/2 hours to the Con!

Yeah close to the con, in between Moab and Johnson Valley. I've found 4x4 clubs in Ely and Elko, are there any other clubs in the area?

Hey I'm just up the road in Ely, Plenty of stuff out here for the out door type.
