Lincoln County Nevada Trails Days 2010.

Saturday June 5th and Sunday June 6th.

Five-million acres of public land, six state parks, and two wildlife areas – welcome to Lincoln County. Just north of Las Vegas you’ll find a land like none other. We say it’s primitive and it is to some extent but not where it counts. We have Mother Nature’s greatest creations and you can drive them, ride them, hike them, bike them, or simply admire them. The trail starts in Lincoln County Nevada.This June, pack up the kids and haul the toys to Caliente. Lincoln County Nevada is hosting its 7th annual Trails Day event, coinciding with National Public Lands Day on September 26. The Lincoln County Trails Coalition, in cooperation with the Bureau of Land Management, Nevada Division of State Parks, and the Lincoln County Commissioners, have planned a full line-up of events. Come join us for some fun on your public lands.
