The Switchback Spring South Loop in Nevada is a wilderness loop beginning at the Willow Spring area in Red Rock Canyon (NCA). From there head up Rocky Gap Road. Ascend to the Wilson Ridgeline above Switchback Spring. Then, head South (left) along the Wilson Ridgeline to where it drops off above Rocky Gap Road. Along this stretch of the Wilson Ridgeline, cross over Tio Grande and Red Rock Summit. Turn right to descend about a quarter mile along the Wilson Ridge toward Lovell Canyon, then descend to upper Rocky Gap Road. Take a left on Rocky Gap Road to loop back to the start point at Willow Spring.
