Tucked into Nevada’s southern Spring Mountains, Mountain Springs is a place whose character is shaped by the transition from the Mojave Desert to cooler, higher terrain. This small community lies on Nevada State Route 160, which crosses Mountain Springs Pass on the route between Las Vegas and Pahrump. Desert scrub gives way to mountain slopes and open woodland, creating a marked contrast with the Las Vegas Valley to the east. The corridor also follows part of the historic Old Spanish Trail, an early-19th-century trade route linking New Mexico and California.
