From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Pahranagat Valley is located in Lincoln County, Nevada and is home to the Pahranagat Valley National Wildlife Refuge. The Rolling Stones of Pahranagat, a hoax article written by Dan De Quille of the Territorial Enterprise made this valley world famous in 1862.
The Crystal Springs area, used as a watering spot and campsite, was a principal stop-over on the Mormon Trail Alternate Route. In the late 1850s, the area was a haven for outlaws who pastured hundreds of head of stolen cattle on its meadows.
Ore was discovered in 1865 on Mount Irish and Logan sprang briefly into existence.
Other towns in Pahranagat Valley include Alamo and Ash Springs.
