Thread '2025 Reno Fest - Memorial Weekend - High Rock Canyon (preparation thread)'

Feb 24, 2025

Hello all,

I am happy to start this thread early in the year to help people get ready for Reno Fest which will vary from the usual rock crawling trails we usually do.

This year Reno Fest will be an overland-style trip to High Rock Canyon in Northern Nevada.

Event is Memorial Day weekend from Friday May 23rd to Monday May 26th.

Itinerary
High Rock Canyon is our destination, but getting there will be half of the experience! We will visit some cool sites around Pyramid Lake and Winnemucca Dry Lake including Indian caves, mines, the Black Rock Desert and California Trail...

I did not take any photos of Day 1. Hopefully some of you guys did.

These photos won't be in order but are mostly from Day 2 when we got to the Black Rock Desert.

Overall, the trip was an overwhelming success. Thanks to everyone being diligent in their preps and pre-trip maintenance we had ZERO breakdowns! A few rear hatches that wouldn't open or close was the extent of problems.

Our camp on Day 2:

This dude was buzzing around our camp (it was cool!)

Sunrise came early. The sun hit my tent at 5:41 am.

Some from Day 3.

Double Hot Springs. This water was cooking! 175+ degrees.

Will post more plus I have some videos to upload.

But Thanks for the great trip guys. It will be one I'll always have fond memories of.

And this is one reason I enjoy NAXJA
