Moonrocks NV

Moon rocks is crazy in the summer. Huge toy haulers, quads, and motorcycles everywhere. The good news is it only takes about ten minutes on any one of the BLM roads to get away away from everyone.

BLM land is the best. Any idea how far those trails reach at moon rocks? I wanted to keep going but i didn't want to run out of gas out there. We drove about an hour past moon rocks but turned around after that.

They go forever. Lol. Honestly, it depends on which direction you go. I've started in the Lemon Valley area north of Reno and ended up in Moonrocks. Also, up by Bordertown, you can head west and go all the way to Crystal Peak, Dog Valley, Boca, etc.

If you explore far in the winter, be prepared if you are going alone. Don't be a Stolpa.

when all the Ca TRAILS CLOSE

Moon rocks looks like a great place to get away. when they close all the California trails head out to Nevada. Might be a good place for me to stop at after coming through Moab. Thanks for the pic's

When they close all the trails in California , please don't head to Nevada . We don't need our trails closed also !

Get a good topo map. The roads aren't challenging but the scenery is great and you can drive forever.

Sorry, just saw this. They are a little pricey (like $15), but you can get great fold up waterproof/tearproof maps at REI. The one that has all of the area north of Truckee (e.g. Jackson Meadows, Weber Lake, Independence Lake etc.) is one of my favorites. It shows Boca and the surrounding areas as well. I don't believe it shows areas out to the east like Moonrocks, but if you found the right map for Moonrocks and Lemon Valley and then also bought the map I reference above, you would literally have yourself enough roads to explore for the next few summers. :thumb:
