Posted by fr00tCake Not likely anyone is going to reply with how to get in, but I will say this: Parking on Hwy 24 and strolling right in is a sure fire way to get caught. Should you figure out a better plan, stay out of view of the highway. Locals watch this place like a hawk and will call the law. You can bet on getting charged. Be smart and be careful!

This. I've had to hide from the deputies before, good thing they were busy with some dickweeds who were smashing shit and throwing things around in the general store. There's a better parking spot north of the town, but I've even seen the cops get wise to folks parked near there. The best parking spots require a hike.
It's worth the effort. My first trip was in '06, I think - it was way less trashed back then. Despite the vandalism, it's still a place that really has no equal. There's literally dozens of abandoned, historic structures in remarkable shape for the location. I'd say it's probably one of my favorite places on Earth, not gonna lie. And don't even get me started on Belden. There's a lot more hidden inside Battle Mountain.
