Mt. Wilson Wilderness - Missouri Spring Trailhead
The area offers abundant opportunities for solitude and primitive recreation activities, although it is frequently over flown by tourist aircraft. Near the springs you may spot evidence of historic mining activities, including several locations where names and dates have been chipped into rocks. Continuing up the canyon from the springs, robust hikers can climb to Wilson Ridge and Mount Wilson, where you can enjoy spectacular views of the surrounding mountains and Lake Mead.
