I haven't seen anything up here for my state of Nevada so I am adding one now. On Monday, August 13th, I will be attempting to complete a route that I have dubbed the Spring Mountain 100K. The route runs though the Spring Mountains just north of Las Vegas, NV in a northwest direction from Kyle Canyon Rd to the town of Coal Creek summiting Charleston Peak and also passing by Mummy Mountain, Charleston Ski Resort, McFarland Peak, and Bonanza Peak.
More presicisely:
1. Start: Junction of Kyle Canyon Rd. (Hwy 157) and Harris Springs Road.
2. (3 miles) Proceed up Harris Springs Road to Harris Mountain Road.
3. (5 miles) Rt. on Harris Mountain Road to Griffith Peak Trailhead.
4. (10 miles) Take Griffith Peak Trail to South Loop Trail to Mt. Charleston Peak.
5. (11 miles) Descend on North loop to Deer Creek Road (Hwy 158)
6. (9 miles) Lf. on Hwy 158 to Lf. on Lee Canyon (Hwy 157) to Lower Bristlecone Pine Trailhead.
7. (18 miles) Rt. on Bonanza Trail Head to town of Coal Creek. Bonanza Trail
8. (6 miles) Continue on Coal Creek Rd. until I hit 100 km (62 miles).
