Hancock Summit is located on Nevada Hwy 375.

These images show the type of riding. The pavement is good, the traffic is very light and the temperatures perfect in April.

Hancock Summit, Elevation 5592

Riding to the east is more interesting; down this slope to the west is very nice, but the road then runs a long way straight to the next series of mountains—worth doing, but avoid the heat.
