Daytrip - Mormon Well Road

On 09/06/2018 Jim Herring and I decided to drive the entire length of Mormon Well Road in my new Jeep Cherokee. After driving approximate 30 miles north of Las Vegas on US-95, you turn right and head east onto a 4-mile paved road that leads to the Corn Creek Station and the DNWR. This road is a 47-mile long expedition through a desert basin known as Yucca Forest, filled with thousands of acres of yucca, Joshua trees, and creosote bushes and then winds across this basin as it climbs into a high desert landscape filled with junipers and pines, the Mormon Pass Campground and historic Mormon Well.
