Not a place to meet the F-250 coming the other way! Red Canyon mining district, above (yes!) Red Canyon in the Pine Nut Mountains, Douglas County, Nevada. Looking south. The district was worked for gold and silver beginning in the 1860s, and there has evidently been more recent activity, probably associated with the run-ups in precious metal prices ca. 1980 and since 2000.

Summit of Mt. Rawe, as seen from a saddle below to the west. The walking was easy to here--there was an ATV track--but some serious bushwhacking awaits going up that slope!
