Gold Creek, also known as Meadow Creek Road, offers a journey that starts off Highway 225 by the serene Wild Horse Reservoir and winds through diverse landscapes before ending at Rowland Road in the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest. This relatively easy trail begins by meandering through picturesque ranchland, where wide-open fields stretch beneath the expansive sky.

As you continue, the trail ascends into the forested embrace of The Mahoganies, where the air grows cooler and the scenery shifts to towering trees and dappled sunlight. You’ll find Big Bend Campground, a serene spot nestled among the trees, offering a perfect setting for a peaceful night under the stars. The forest also provides numerous opportunities for dispersed camping, allowing you to set up camp in the tranquility of nature.

Gold Creek is more than just a trail; it’s a passage through the varied beauty of Nevada’s wilderness, from the pastoral charm of ranchland to the rugged splendor of the forest.
