Spring Mountain Ranch State Park, located within Nevada's Cottonwood Valley.

As 2020 came to an end, my travels brought me to Nevada. For over a month I lived in, and explored the deserts west of Las Vegas. The Spring Mountain range fascinated me. I dreamed of fitting my backpack and hiking deep into the mountains. Not knowing the area nor the location of any water resource, I decided to leave Spring Mountain for exploration on a return visit.
