What we’re about

Welcome to Sierra Club's Toiyabe Chapter - Southern Nevada Group Meetup Page. Sierra Club is the region's largest and most powerful volunteer, grassroots conservation organization. Check our calendar to see our opportunities to take action, get involved, or just join us for a hike.

We invite you to join us in protecting our public lands, wildlife refuges, forests, parks and wilderness for all. We  welcome your donations to support our important local work. Thank you for all that you do to explore enjoy and protect Nevada and our public lands.

From our base in Las Vegas, the Southern Nevada Group is proud to serve Sierra Club members and friends throughout the lower portion of the state, including residents of Clark, Nye, Esmeralda, Lincoln and White Pine counties. Our certified Outings leaders provide opportunities to explore the region’s natural bounty, with frequent hikes scheduled along the trails of Red Rock Canyon NCA, Lake Mead NRA, Valley of Fire State Park, Humbolt-Toiyabe National Forest and other areas of scenic beauty and wilderness.

We have quarterly mixers, environmental education programs, tabling events and cause-related political activities are regular features of our annual calendar.

Mon, Dec 9, 2024, 1:00 PM PSTAfternoon History/Geology Hike on the Old Spanish Trail
Needs location
This is a moderate afternoon walk/hike on the Old Spanish Trail in Blue Diamond, Nevada. We are meeting at 1:00 PM in front of the general store near the Cottonwood Station restaurant. We will walk a few hundred yards to the Cottonwood Spring where Captain Fremont and Kit Carson stopped in 1844 on their circumnavigation of the Great Basin. After visiting the spring we will go to an overlook where we can see the Old Spanish Trail, pretty much as it looked from 1829 - 1848, when mule and horse caravans went back and forth from Santa Fe, New Mexico to Los Angeles. Then we will walk for 1/2 mile along the trail, stopping to see a Miocene landslide deposit. The trail is steep in places. Total distance is about 1.0 miles. We will be back to the cars by 4:00 PM. Try not to park too close to the restaurant, if possible, so patrons can park.

Level: Moderate(Moderate due to steep trail)
