Interesting rock formation out along the ridge line that rises from the desert floor on the eastern side of the McCullough Mountain range. This rugged ancient volcanic landscape is best viewed during the cooler months of the year. Late spring and early fall there is more of a chance to run across some rattlesnakes. Summer month the rattlesnake is seeking a cooler retreat, but will come out at night.
There are several dirt roads that can be taken to reach the starting point (N35° 56.106, W114° 59.729) of the hike. Half the fun is figuring out which dirt road is best. A standard 2wd vehicle, without high clearance can easily make the journey with the suggested directiions listed as follows: Head out by way of Interstate 515 (US 93) (US 95) South Boulder Highway. After you clear railroad pass you will need to exit at US 95 towards Searchlight. Travel south on US 95 for about 5 miles (N35 54.066, W114 55.318). On the right there will be a steel cattle guard to cross onto the dry lakebed. Exit off of US 95 onto the dry lakebed and follow this road on the northern perimeter of the dry lakebed. This road will lead to the power line road (N35° 54.109, W114° 56.228). Continute pass the power line and follow road up the mountain slope. From there you should be able to figure out the rest
It can be very steep in some sections of the climb depending on how you attack the tower.
Cache is in a metal canister inside a rock igloo. Please be careful removing the top rock to gain access to the canister.
