EASY Overlanding near Las Vegas | Christmas Tree Pass

This week we hit the trails again but this time find more festive dirt roads to travel!
Christmas Tree Pass is known for its decorations along the trail. From Searchlight to Laughlin Nevada, the trail is approximately 15/16 miles long of dirt road. As you go up the mountains the scenery changes quickly from desert to brush to large mountainous rocks! Its a fun trail and doesn't require 4x4 but be mindful for the soft sandy spots in the road!
Start of Christmas Tree Pass Rd: 35.267841, -114.869815
Coordinates for abandoned cabin: 35.251816, -114.748549
- Note: Lots of glass around the area
Camping along Christmas Tree Pass:
Spot 1: 35.265432, -114.761049
Spot 2: 35.260670, -114.744845

cool I haven't been to the farm house in years

[@Kadenventures]

Yeah it was a pretty cool spot to find in the middle of nowhere like that lol Thanks for watching Donald!

[@NaturallyRC]

Thanks for sharing. Another fine example for RC guys like me, of what real 4x4 trailing is about.

[@NaturallyRC]

Gotta say I dig the little Suzuki 🤗

[@NaturallyRC]

4:31 I had the same thing happen to my light bar. Did he roll down a 100 foot cliff into a raging river and have to be lifted out with a long robust tree branch? LOL

[@Kadenventures]

@@NaturallyRC lol that thing was a beast! Such a cool rig, looks like its nimble enough to get pretty much anywhere!

[@Kadenventures]

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for sharing! We’re Vegas locals & try to find nearby dispersed camping spots for weekend getaways while exploring Nevada. Just spent a few days near spot #2, beautiful area, awesome sunsets. Cool to see the decorated trees, drive through the mountains & hike through the petroglyphs.

[@Kadenventures]

Hey Charlene! Glad you found the channel! We love exploring around the area so i'm glad the video was helpful. If you have FB check out the Vegas Overlanding group, i'm one of the admins there and there are usually events going on each month to explore trails/camp around Vegas!

[@Seanmichael010204]

Dude your video editing is on point!! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us.. I'm also in Vegas and I'm learning alot with ur video's of places to check out someday..👍👍👍

[@Kadenventures]

Thanks for watching! More trails to come, there is a ton of options out there around the Vegas area and its been fun to explore!

[@Qusin111]

wow I haven't been to that house in years, really has been run down but I guess that is how it goes

[@Kadenventures]

Yeah sadly its pretty trashed out there LOTS of glass everywhere, Thanks for watching!

[@suztube9458]

As usual, you didn't disappoint. Thanks for the tagalong.

[@Kadenventures]

Thank you! :)

[@BrandonSimmons-do6jq]

There is a trail that takes you to an old homestead from the 50's

[@Kadenventures]

Never heard of that! I'll have to look it up Thanks!

[@HBOutdoors93]

Awesome video!! That was a fun ride, glad I was able to join!! I didn’t know there was a little waterfall back in the trailhead, I’m gonna have to go check that out again. Have you heard of Cold Creek? That’s a cool place to explore, I could show ya a few good spots sometime if your down

[@Kadenventures]

I'm always down to explore! I've heard of a few guys talk about fishing at Cold Creek? Not sure if that's the same area or not though but lets definitely do this again! It was a fun ride

Is the Overland community very active in Vegas? I'm looking to move in the next 6 months and would love to do some overlanding with my '98 K2500 6.5TD Ext Cab Long Bed. A few of the groups I found online were only jeep/wrangler clubs

[@Kadenventures]

I'd say its pretty active, check out Vegas Overlanding group on Facebook, or Desert Overlanding, they do meet ups, group runs. There are a ton of trails in the area and places to go summer or winter! We've moved here about 3 years ago now from Alaska and we've traveled all over, this location has been a great option for us. There is always someplace to go regardless of the weather

[@wild1athletics]

@@Kadenventures Awesome, thanks for the reply. Hope to see ya on the trail

[@geezerpleasers_OG]

It looked like there were long stretches of easy dirt road, and other stretches that would be dicey for a soft roader. Were those dicey areas part of the main Christmas Tree Pass road, or were they when you went on detours?

[@Kadenventures]

Those dicey trails was a detour to that random cabin in the mountain lol the main Christmas Tree Pass road is easy

[@geezerpleasers_OG]

@@Kadenventures Thank you for the helpful reply.

[@Kadenventures]

@@geezerpleasers_OG Your welcome!

[@Qusin111]

oh if you go pass this house you can drive up the mountain to the towers

[@Kadenventures]

We were trying to go further up the mountain but the road kind of faded away and became unpassable (on the left side of the cabin is where we tried) we were suppose to turn off before the cabin but there was a gate up

[@utbros4847]

Can you drive a regular car on this road or only a truck or suv? Looking for a cut through to Laughlin

[@Kadenventures]

I think you could its not horrible but with the wash boards I dont think it would be any faster to Laughlin lol

[@alfonsoalvarez5349]

It’s a beautiful run. Please respect our beautiful public lands. To many times you find trash , broken glass and toilet paper.

[@Kadenventures]

Definitely! We always leave a camp spot better than we find it
