Most folks may not be aware of the fact that camping and hiking on BLM managed land is almost limitless. BLM manages 67% of the land in Nevada in which recreational opportunities abound. The BLM has the most laxed regulations of land use of all the land managment agencies. With the exception of NCAs and Wilderness Areas you are free to do as you please. Ofcourse there are some rules, such as stay on designated routes and some fire restrictions but I dont imaging that those are to difficult or taxing to abide by. The way I see it, if you want to find a nice remote place to camp you need to walk to it. I understand that not all folks possess the physical capacities to do this but we cant build highways for everyone and disregard the effects and damages to the environment for the sake of few.
For BringtheRain, drive to Whitney Pockets, with a map, and hike from there. If you can't do this, Im sorry, but youll have to do with pictures and stories. Too many roads have fragmented species habitat and diminished greatly core populations and habitats. It's time to mitigate our past mistakes.
