Trails between Beatty and Goldfield consist of mining roads and 4WD routes that cross-cross the entire region. The first leg of this suggested route will take you from the town of Beatty, through the mountains to the old ghost town of Gold Point. This historic mining town is an OHV-friendly stopping place with a restaurant, bar, and cabins. The second leg of the journey goes north to the town of Goldfield, and the third segment of the trail travels north to Tonopah. Riders will pass multiple historic mining sites, beautiful geologic features, Joshua tree and cactus forests, and may see a wild burro or two.
Roads are generally two-track dirt roads, and high clearance, 4WD vehicles are recommended. During wet weather, roads may be impassable in many areas in the canyons and on the flats, so travel with caution.
Motor vehicles are permitted on designated trails only. Always plan ahead and prepare for uncertainty. Travel with warm clothing, first aid, food, water and appropriate tools to fix a problem. Traveling in groups is always a good idea, as well as informing someone of where you will be going.
