I think this is what surprised me the most about my trip to Nelson Ghost Town.  I was not expecting such beautiful desert views.  This place does not disappoint. If you are in Vegas, this is a most worthy day trip.

Mount Locke Summit Views

The summit of Mount Locke sits at an elevation of 6,791 feet.  This spot was chosen for a few reasons – it was donated by a local rancher, the weather is nice year round, this area of the state has dark skies, and the elevation.  The views from the base of the telescope are outstanding.
