Overview: A hike in the Spring Mountains well above the heat of the valley floor. Travel mostly in conifer forests with plenty of britlecone pines on the ridges. Partly on trail, partly on an abandoned 2-track. Suitable for all, unless you choose to walk back along NV 156 to retrieve your car. This is a narrow 2-lane with no shoulders.
