Leg 29

This leg takes on a big climb up to the old mining town, Silver City. Pass through the Devil's Gate rock formation just before finding XP 29 on your right. Devil's Gate marks the boundary line between Storey and Lyon Counties. Thousands of the most adventurous souls of the mining West paraded through this narrow gorge as they made their way to the gold and silver mines of the Comstock Lode in the 1860's.
