Pahrump Valley

Pahrump Valley is a Mojave Desert valley west of Las Vegas and the Spring Mountains massif in southern Nye County, Nevada, and eastern San Bernardino County, California.

Pahrump Valley Days [2] is the annual event in February each year, along with the sanctioned JRH-HS Rodeo.

The Pahrump Valley was crossed by the Old Spanish Trail and later the Salt Lake Road.

The large block of the Spring Mountains borders Pahrump Valley on the northeast and east, with Nevada State Route 160 skirting parts of the mountain's south, and being the only due west route from Las Vegas.

In California, the Nopah Range borders the valley's southwest, with the north of the adjacent Resting Spring Range merging north to form the northwest border of the Pahrump Valley.

Tall mountains rise from brushy desert floor.
