When traveling this region, please respect property and public lands. In particular, the Nevada access to the Sweetwater Mountains passes through the Sweetwater Ranch on Highway 338. There are many grazing areas en route to the canyons, with traditional barbed wire fencing and gates that require proper opening and closing. The Nugent cabin is a phenomenon in this age, a facility open to those who wish to stay overnight and respect the intent of the property. Once a mine and herder's line cabin, the structure is habitable and supported by generous guests. As long as users leave the cabin as found or better, we can continue to enjoy this unique setting.
If your travels include the eastern Sierra or northwestern Nevada, consider visiting the Sweetwater Mountains. From June to late October (or the first significant snowfall), the area provides seclusion and a glimpse of the past. Nearby, there are archaeological sites dating back many thousands of years, as this region has been home and a sacred place for many peoples. In our next travels through the area, we'll explore those pre-Columbian sites and lifestyles!
