Starting in Cold Creek, the Wheeler Pass trail takes you up and over the Spring Mountains. The trail was the main way to travel from the Indian Springs area to Pahrump in the 1800s. The trail is rough and rocky but passable in a high-clearance 4x4. Fantastic views of the desert floor await as you climb towards the summit. On the east side of the trail, don't forget to stop and visit the historic Charcoal Kilns that date back to the late 1800s. There will be snow in winter, so check the weather before heading out.
