A great spot near Pyramid Lake. Normally a 5-star rating, but deducted due to the many flies and 2WD spots due to the proximity to the road. With a 4WD, you're much more flexible. Still, a spot I can recommend. Great view of the vast prairie and mountains. Protected by amazing rock formations that resembled giant fossils. We had T-Mobile internet.

Open and quiet

Here in April. Cold but clear skies. Lots of off shoots for spreading out and flat sand/gravel for pulling off. Looks like it might be pretty muddy just after a rain.

The closest accessible blm near Pyramid Lake.

The pin is the starting point of blm land in that area. There is at least one drivable pathway deeper into blm land. I think more. I'll find out tomorrow. I was driving around trying to find access to blm land and found it. I used a public lands app to verify it is blm. The boundary barley crossed over 447. A perfect access point to blm land. My cell service was bad. I use boost mobile, but I've heard Verizon isn't very good in the area as well. If it works for you it's convenient.
