Lucky Strike Road is an off-road trail with a few four-wheel drive challenges at the beginning and at the end with a nice relaxing drive in the middle featuring fantastic views and multiple camping areas. A great choice to get away from the Vegas heat in summer and get closer to the snow in the winter.

From Las Vegas, head north on Interstate 15. Take the exit #42A to US 95 North/Reno and head northwest for approximately 25 miles. On the right, you will see signage indicating Corn Creek road/the Desert National Wildlife Refuge. Turn left/west across the Highway onto Lucky Strike Mine Road. Continue for approximately 7.4 miles, the trailhead is on the southeast/left side of the road.
The road is in good shape, and the notch obstacles provide good fun BUT like the trail description says take the time to take a look at those areas to be sure they're not undercut. Washes are tight for wider vehicles but over all the trail is stable and in great shape. Exiting on to Kyle Canyon Road is a little sketchy as the hill climbing crowd has seriously eroded rhis section, dug it up and exposed the shelf to almost 14 inches... luckily they also kicked up tons of rocks the we stacked to come of the shelf.
