Having lived in NV since 1992, I have found that Oct/Nov weather can often be mild. This winter was the exception, however. Looking at the Farmer's Almanac regional forecast for the October 2016 timeframe it said this:

"Winter temperatures will be much above normal, with precipitation near normal in the north and below normal in the south. The coldest periods will be in mid- and late December, late January, and mid- and late February. Snowfall will be above normal near Reno but below normal elsewhere, with the snowiest periods in early and mid-December, early January, and mid- and late February."

I also read that we will be going back into a La Niña weather cycle, which calls for less precip during the winter months. Maybe this October will be t-shirt weather in the high desert.

I did a run in this area last year! We staged outside of Fallon gassed up in Gabbs continued east to a small ghost town called Belmont... Camped off the rigs in the campground there also there is a bar with food. A few people have taken up residency there renovating the historical ghost town and court house! I talked to a guy there that claims the trail from there northbound threw the canyon towards Round mt links into a trail that follows the ridge that would lead us to Austin. Which is not to far from cold springs. Any of the trails in the 3 mt ranges to the south of there I'm told is great riding but seasonal because of the high elevation.
I would be interested to hook up on this run..

Have rode there a few times. Mostly as a follower and no clue where we went except for Gabbs. Got fuel there for the trip back. Have rode on both sides of 50 and was even buzzed by a fighter jet in the valley. Enjoy the area, good scenery and friendly ranchers we met. i am sure we will be at Cold Springs this year as long as RZR recalls don't keep us down.........

Cold Springs has several RV sites when we stopped in last week and checked on if we needed to make reservations, the lady said that there would be several available so we didn make reservations since we are not sure what trailer we will have at that time

Yes, this place is a mini-everything.... they have that small motel, a few cottages, RV park with some15A hookups, a row of 30A, and a row of 50A is what we remember....convience store, restaurant, pool table, bar, extremely clean rest rooms with showers that don't need quarters. This would be a hoot for a week to ride out of as a destination park instead of just a stopover for SM.

I mapped out a few short cut trails to the ghost town called Belmont should anyone be interested in trying. It's a long run with a gas stop outside of Round Mt. There an old working saloon there and the old court house has quite the history. Other than that there's the castle in Austin, with several mines and some petroglyphs in the area.

I don't know about getting to Belmont and back in one day and do anything but drive Barb... A closer look it's still well over 100 miles each way. It's doable just throwing it out there.., there's several cool canyons and stops to the south that would head you that way to the gas stop in Hadley. Belmont is an additional 30 miles to the east over mt Jefferson mt range. There is a B&B saloon and campground that I tented at once. More centrally located is Kingston creek canyon. Possible on your next stay, There a B&B restaurant bar, camping, lake and a few RV spots. This would be a great place to stop and check out. If you gas up and skip Belmont and head back west through Opher creek canyon drops us close to the Berlin Ichthyosaurs state park. Not sure what's there but sounds interesting. This would be kinda an all day figure 8 run that most likely have geocaching on!

Had a great ride..
I almost got our venison meat for the next few years..
Screamed like a little school girl as we we were going through sage brush as high as us..Kevin said there were some deer on our right side... So I looking don't see anything and then BAM..I jumped 3 SLAMMED on the brakes just as the 4th, 5th. & 6th ones were about to come across in front of us...That was the closest I have been to hitting a deer in my lifetime..

I'm kind of surprised more day rides aren't posted :(

I think Oct 12th thru the 15th sounds good.

I may not make the whole run but it does mirror last years Thurs thru Sun. :cool:

Maverick4me
07-15-2017, 08:09 AM
Okay, so it sounds like that the 12-15th will work for most of us for the Cold Springs ride. Kevin has to leave on the 14th, but can arrive on the 7th.
So our current plan is a group ride at Sand Mountain trails around that area from the 7th until the 11th, then head to Cold Springs the 11th to 15th finish out there.
Personally we are planning to arrive in Nevada on the 6th and depart on the 16th.
How does that sound for the few that can stay a week or more? I will start a thread upon feedback.
Thanks, Don

I would love to tag along on this one. I assume you guys are still referencing month of October?

As far as day rides go, I need to pick up a small utility trailer next week and would be up for day rides just about any weekend.
