***PLEASE NOTE!!!! IF YOU USE APPLE MAPS THEN YOU WILL NOT ARRIVE AT THE CORRECT LOCATION! PLEASE USE GOOGLE MAPS***
Here is a "brief" history of the Pioneer Saloon: Built in 1913 by local businessman George Fayle, the bar was formed out of stamped tin from the Sears Roebuck Company—indeed, the Pioneer looks like something out of a ghost town or Western flick with its false front and porch of well-worn boards. Inside, a 19th-century bar dominates the room, the wood worn to a soft, polished glow. The brass rail at the foot of the bar and the potbelly iron stove are both original. If you look beside the stove, you’ll see a few old bullet holes, the result of a long-ago fight over cheating at cards.
Another tragedy in the otherwise good-time history of the Pioneer involves Hollywood legends Clark Gable and Carole Lombard. In 1942, Lombard was flying back to Los Angeles after a tour selling war bonds and her plane crashed into nearby Mount Potosi. As a team struggled to recover her body from the isolated crash site, Lombard’s husband, Clark Gable, waited at the bar in Goodsprings, drunk and inconsolable.
The legend of Gable and Lombard also contributes to the Pioneer Saloons’ reputation as a place rife with otherworldly activity. Both of them are said to have a presence there, as is the target of the bullets that went into the aforementioned holes, a depressive bartender and one of Nevada’s “working girls” of another era.
The saloon’s cast of astral character resulted in featured spots on TV shows such as Ghost Adventures and made it the site of meet-ups for fans of the paranormal. The Pioneer Saloon also occasionally hosts “ghost lockdowns,” where visitors can hang out from midnight until 4 a.m., playing with EVF meters and spirit boxes and attempting to contact Carole, Clark, or perhaps just an anonymous miner.
Pioneer possesses other silver screen connections, too. It was featured in The Mexican, Miss Congeniality 2, and Cheech & Chong’s Up in Smoke, as well as a scene from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas that landed on the cutting room floor. It has also manifested as the “Prospector Saloon” in the video game Fallout: New Vegas.
Heading into its second century, the Pioneer Saloon remains a beloved watering hole for both locals and visitors from around the world. It’s a popular spot for motorcycle riders as well as star gazers who appreciate the dearth of artificial light. The bar now offers a menu of sandwiches and burgers (try the ghost burger) as well as breakfast. Entertainment is provided by a jukebox, karaoke, and live bands, but the atmosphere of the Pioneer Saloon is thrill enough.

Come out and hit the trails with us all weekend! Trails will run from stock friendly like the Ute, stepped up like the Matterhorn and the max like Upper Rock Bottom!
We will be camping Friday night through Sunday evening. We look forward to seeing you for some trails, food and all around good times!
Saturday March 21st
9 am – 13 Mile Loop (Trail Leader Mary) This is an easy trail that loops around the main area of the Logandale Trail system. There are a few optional obstacles a little further on the east side if you want to play around more. The rest of the trail is generally a bumpy dirt road or a sandy road, which is fun to drive through a little faster. On the east side, there are some petroglyphs to be seen, followed by a fun sand dunes area where you can let loose before completing the loop.
- Meet at the upper bathrooms at 8:30 am, roll out at 9 am.
- Bring water and lunch
9 am – Upper Rock Bottom (Trail Leaders Mark & Brandon) Rock Bottom is a difficult, action packed rock crawling trail. The entrance to the trail is a V-notch that you tip toe through. From there you crawl up a slightly off camber hill climb till you end up in a canyon with 3 ways out. Then we will play in the sands for some fun!
- Meet at the upper bathrooms at 8:30 am, roll out at 9 am.
- Bring water and lunch
6pm - Meet us at our campsite for DINNER – please bring a side dish or something to grill up. Smores provided by the club!
- A chair is great idea to bring along
- Donations of firewood for the pit to stay lit are appreciated as well
Sunday March 22nd
9 am - Ute Trail (Trail Leader Geri) Stock friendly trail located on the west side of the Logandale Trail System. The trail travels though the valley and some washes. There may be a few small rocks to roll over, but no obstacles and no clearance issues.
- Meet at the upper bathrooms at 8:30 am, roll out at 9 am.
- Bring water and lunch
9 am – The Matterhorn (Trail Leader Mark & Brandon) It is named because of a small jagged peak that is next to the trail that somewhat resembles the Matterhorn peak in Switzerland. The trail has a few fun obstacles that are slightly challenging, but not really enough to cause any carnage.
- Meet at the upper bathrooms at 8:30 am, roll out at 9 am.
- Bring water and lunch
---------------------------------
