Soldier Basin Trailhead

Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest

Not an established campground but rather a trailhead where dispersed camping is allowed. Soldier creek is one of the few places in the Rubies with easy access into the mountains. You can ride to Soldier basin, which contains 6-8 lakes, depending on your definition of a lake versus a pond. Soldier, Robinson and Hidden lakes are the largest and most frequently visited in the basin.

The trailhead has a vault toilet and stock water from the creek.

Directions: From Elko, Nevada Interstate 80 east to exit 321(Halleck) onto route 229; Turn right.
After about 10 miles turn right at sign for "Lamiolle 20 Miles". Between 5 to 8 miles you will be turning left (Forest service sign Soldier Canyon). Trail head is at the end of the road. About 8 miles.
