Prison Hill Summit Loop
Prison Hill is a popular mixed-use recreation area within Carson City. While the north portion of the hill is open to non-motorized recreation (hiking, mountain biking, equestrian, etc.), the southern portion of the hill is now open for OHV use! The motorized area has recently been updated by the Open Space Division of the Carson City Parks, Recreation & Open Space Department, working with the National Off-Highway Vehicle Conservation Council (NOHVCC), various funding partners such as the Recreational Trails Program (Nevada State Parks), the Off-Highway Vehicle Program, and many other project partners and volunteers! Officially adopted by Battle Born Offroad Club, the Summit Loop is a fun and scenic route that hits the main viewpoints and of course, takes you to the summit, where you'll enjoy spectacular views of the valley and surrounding mountains.
