This ride visits Massacre Ranch in the far NW corner of the NCA. This area is famous as a Dark Sky Reserve. This loop further explores the canyon lands of the NCA. The loop continues to the spring head at Upper High Rock Canyon. Wildlife viewing is a premium through here. We will return to Gerlach for a no-host meal at Bruno’s.
Here’s a bit about The Friends of Black Rock / High Rock: Founded in 1999, we provide education and resources for people using the land within the Black Rock High Rock Canyon Emigrant Trail National Conservation Area. Our membership includes environmental scientists, kite-boarding enthusiasts, campers, star-gazers, conservationists, historians, and visitors from all over the world. We work closely with the Burning Man Project, the non-profit organization that hosts 70,000 visitors to the Black Rock Desert at its annual event, promoting land stewardship through Leave No Trace principles.
