INTRODUCTION
In
the past few years, Southern Nevada has been the fastest growing
area in the United States. Though the sprawl is growing so fast
it seems to take longer each week to find the point where the pavement
ends and the desert begins. However, there is still much that remains
natural, remote and unexplored in and around Southern Nevada.

As off-roaders we have a responsibility to protect the
land. Practicing the follow basic ethics will protect the desert and trails. By protecting the desert and not destroying
the trails, the government will not be forced to close a road to protect the resources. One is not more important
than another, all must be protected.
1. Leave the land and its vegatation as you find it. Limiting travel to established roads will minimize damage
to soil and plant life.
2. Don't cut swithcbacks, drive through meadows, or across open desert. Don't spin wheels unnecessarily. Avoid
driving in streams or on steep hills with loose soil. Don't harass livestock or wildlife.
3. Preserve America's heritage by not disturbing old mining camps, ghost towns or other historical features. Never
remove artifacts of any kind.
4. Respect the right and property of others. Miners, recreationist, ranchers, fisherman, hunters and others rely
on the backcountry for enjoyment and livelihood. Get permission before you cross onto private land.
5. Be prepared for emergencies - they do not always happen to the other person. Having spare parts, tools and adequate
clothing will help. Also bring a first aid kit, fire extinguisher and drinking water.
