You guys... this place is MAGIC! Seriously!! Be aware there’s 2 ways to get here.... Verdi exit and also north by Bordertown. I highly suggest the Verdi route.... and you absolutely need a higher clearance vehicle. BUMPS ahead! Beautiful views, such a fun experience. Bring snacks and your childhood love for dirt :) FYI- I had perfect reception with ATT and Sprint the whole route.

Can be a bit difficult to get there if you don't have a 4wheel drive vehicle, but it's absolutely stunning! Quartz every where, it looks like snow! We found beautiful quartz and quartz crystals. The drive up there is gorgeous too!

Can you go crystal mining here for free or do you have to pay?

It is free. And you can take up to a 5 gallon bucket of material home with you. Its a fun adventure! Enjoy! *If you bring your dog, make sure he wears dog booties or protective shoes, the crystal shards on the ground could cut up their feet.

I had a 2wheeldrive pickup truck. It made it just fine. It is extremely rocky in places. Just make sure u have good tires and a spare just in case.
