Kane Springs Road connects the southern end of the amazing Rainbow Canyon in Elgin, NV and HWY US-93 at Coyote Springs. It’s a very well maintained dirt road (wide and smooth, fine for any vehicle type) that runs for close to 38 miles. The road runs between two mountain ranges: Delamar Mountain range (north) and Meadow Valley Mountain range (south). All along the road there are endless side routes. You can take one of these side routes to explore petroglyphs at the remote Kane Springs site. It’s rare to come across other people out here, which is something I really love…the remoteness and uninterrupted landscape. Sometimes, the most human activity you’ll encounter will be military jets making practice runs from the many nearby air bases (Nellis Air Force Base, Creech Air Force Base, Groom Lake, etc.).

Thanks for the info! Photos look great-I should be traveling to Caliente on April 11th.
Just heard a report that a road in the Elgin area has been “locked”. Does anyone know whether it is the Kane Springs road, the road south to Carp or just incorrect information?
Was there yesterday. If you are coming off the 93 towards Elgin there is a sign with gates warning that any driving off Kane road would be considered trespassing. Also there are more cattle guards along the road and many cows.. I guess some cattle rancher bought up all the land. Very disappointing! I wonder if you can still travel the off roads that are marked trails?
Hi Liz. We were just out there this weekend and were also a little concerned when we passed through those gates. We kept going and found after a mile or so, you see signs indicating that you are entering public lands. There are many amazing sights to see!
My friends and I have hunted the Kane Springs area for over 40 years for quail, chukar and rabbits. I was shocked to see the bazaar sign saying you are trespassing if you are not on the Kane Springs Road.
