Getting there
To reach Goodsprings, aka Lower Potosi, take I-15 south to the Jean exit (mile marker 12) and then turn West toward the town of Goodsprings. At Goodsprings, turn right at the main intersection (stop sign). Turn left at the T-junction and follow the road past the volunteer fire department. Continue along this dirt road and follow the right hand turnoff. This road is well maintained and winds its way to the top of Lower Potosi. There is sufficient parking for five or six vehicles.
