Patterson Pass

The road to the summit is totally unpaved but usually well maintained. It’s called Patterson Pass Road. In order to drive this road up, you need a high clearance vehicle. The trail is narrow with few places for passing so meeting someone can be a challenge.

The pass road is 11.58km (7.2 miles) long, running east-west from US-93 to N Cave Valley Road, along the spectacular outdoor scenery of Nevada.
