Hawthorne (Nevada) Voyage Tips and guide

Hawthorne is a city of 3,300 people in Nevada at the south end of Walker Lake.

Hawthorne and its adjacent former town Babbitt provide housing for the nearby Hawthorne Army Depot (switching to Mapnik on the map settings below clearly demonstrates this). The depot stores munitions in widely-spaced bunkers in reserve for a major conflict.

The town has its own airport 38.544444-118.6341671 Hawthorne Industrial Airport (HTH  ^IATA), though this facility seems to be used to transport goods rather than passengers.

The nearest city with an airport is Reno and therefore the 39.499167-119.7680562 Reno-Tahoe International Airport (RNO ^IATA) would be recommended for commercial flights.
