Eagle Point Trailhead

Eagle Point Trailhead sits at 5,033 feet along Highway 93, facing 210 degrees, with terrain dropping 170 feet within 600 meters of the overlook. The view spans several named features to the south and southwest, including Rattlesnake Point at 4.4 miles and Smileys Point at 4.8 miles, both lower in elevation than the trailhead itself. Farther out, Chief Mountain rises to 7,467 feet at a distance of 10.9 miles, while Keel Spring and Buckboard Spring lie southeast at roughly 11.6 and 12.2 miles. The Bluffs, at 6,351 feet, sit to the west at 12.5 miles. Panaca is the closest town, 3.2 miles to the south-southeast, followed by Pioche at 7.0 miles north-northwest and Caliente at 15.9 miles south-southwest. Sunrise and sunset times vary by season, with the June solstice offering the longest daylight window, from 05:17 to 20:04, and the December solstice the shortest, from 06:50 to 16:23. Millers Point is the next lookout along the route.
