Bellfort

Is located up high in the Sweetwater mountains at 10,800 feet.
It is a gorgeous site. There are three cabins, foundations, and mine ruins remaining as well as killer views of Nevada and California.

It was discovered as a ghost town in the late 1930’s by Lee Symonds while on a hunting trip. Lee was the first curator of the Mono county museum; the museum has a great display of the artifacts he found.

Desert Creek
H
Desert Creek is small (about 9 feet wide and 2 to 3 feet deep), sits at an elevation from 5,800 to 7,800 ft in Nevada, is mostly located within the Toiyabe National Forest, and has about 10 fishable miles.

It is generally frozen in winter and snow levels make much of it inaccessible. Anglers can catch rainbow, brown, and brook trout by using nightcrawlers, salmon eggs, Power Bait, or flies.

There is a Forest Service campground (no charge) with restrooms and tables at the lower end and primitive camping is very popular along much of the creek. Indian petroglyphs between 1,000 and 4,000 years old can be found within a 1/2 mile downstream of the USFS campground. There is high recreational diversity in Desert Creek including birding, biking, hiking, and camping as well as fishing.
