Overview

Timber Pass Corral is an historical sheep ranching corral. I don't know much about it, but it probably dates from the turn of the century. This is an interesting part of the human history in this area.

The parking area also makes for a reasonably nice campsite. It isn't level, but it is off the road and cleared.

Getting to the Corral

Timber Pass Corral is located in the east-central part of Basin and Range National Monument, about 3 hours (165 miles) northeast of Las Vegas driving directly, or about 1-1/4 hours (58 miles) north of the intersection of Highway 93 and Highway 318.

From Las Vegas, drive north on Interstate-15 21 miles to Highway 93. Turn left onto Great Basin Highway (Hwy 93) and top off the gas tank if necessary. Drive north past the towns of Alamo (95 miles from Las Vegas) and Ash Springs (102 miles) to the intersection of Highway 93 and Highway 318 (107 miles).
