+Mitragorz Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) My girlfriend and I are heading to Vegas sometime in late April-Early May, and I'm just trying to get some input on some great caches in the area. We're not so much into the power trails, but we'll likely grab a handful of the ET caches and maybe walk Alien Head/UFO, but we're more interested in hiking to cool spots. Places with abandoned buildings, abandoned equipment, etc... Things that are a little farther off the beaten path. We'll be there for about a week. We'll probably rent bikes for a day or two and do some pedaling. I also plan on crossing into CA at some point to grab GC24264 and check out some of the buried rail cars nearby. That spot has been on my list for a long time! If the old lady feels like making the drive, we may check out GCD2A4. But she's the boss! Any recommendations of Vegas caches that are worth checking out? EDIT: Didn't there used to be a cache at the site of the 1956 TWA/United mid-air collision? I thought I remember one being there and adding it to one of my bookmark lists, but I could be wrong. I did see that it was added to the Nat. Reg. ot Hist. Places last year, and that hiking there is restricted. Was there a cache there that has been archived? I see a few virtuals in the area. It's a little far out of the way to check out this time around, but I was wondering if I'm losing my memory at the ripe old age of 29. Edited January 11, 2015 by Mitragorz Quote Link to comment
+Isonzo Karst Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 North of town see GCXHEM it's seen better days, but still fun. On the same road, a real hoot, GCYBXT Continuing into the mountains from there on 156, great views from the Bristlecone trail caches, see GC2AABE. Also in that same area, a wonderful hike, check out the gallery! see GC1Y7AA Quote Link to comment
+Mitragorz Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 Thanks for those! I guess it would make sense to start another bookmark list I should add that anything within a two-hour drive is fair game. Quote Link to comment
+GeoTrekker26 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 If you are interested in suburban caches, check out the 4 remaining active caches by cindy2206. While they are all well done, You've Got Mail is truly outstanding! Quote Link to comment
+AKStafford Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 We'll be there next week and are going to do a string of caches on the Frist Creek Falls Trail: http://www.birdandhike.com/Hike/Red_Rocks/First_Cr_Falls/_First_Creek.htm Our main goal is to hit the Cache Across America cache for Nevada. http://coord.info/GC4BQEX Quote Link to comment

The You've Got Mail cache is a masterpiece. Quote Link to comment
