After three miles on Ivanpah Road, I head east on Nipton Road for the final seven miles across Ivanpah Valley
Nipton is the cluster of buildings at centre-left. The last five miles to Nipton are a slow one-percent grade from about 2625 feet to 3000 feet elevation. It's hotter down here in the valley, in the mid 80s.
